Owner and Founding Director
Shirley was born and bred in the South End of Liverpool L8 to be precise. She started life in retail management working for Top Shop, River Island and Clinton cards to name a few. She was at one stage, whilst working for Top Shop, one of the youngest females in a ‘front of house’ retail management position in the entire Burton Group aged just 20! From there she went on her travels living around the world for the next 20 years completing roles in School Training and Educational services, Government & Industry Travel Services and HR Management. She delivered operational effectiveness and control in places as diverse as London and Germany through to Kathmandu. Today she is totally committed to assisting the next generation of young managers in the Liverpool City Region to achieve the best they can of themselves. This is why and indeed how, SAS Commodities was formed. Her idea, her passion, her drive, her vision – her company!
