“ Part of the learning for us is that we ’ ve created roles that we didn ’ t expect to create ”
— Tim Greenstein ,
General Manager Supply Chain & Technology
Accent ’ s footprint and capabilities are set to increase when Accent moves at some point internationally potentially to Asia in 2019 .
“ We ’ ll never lose focus on our roots here in Australia ,” adds Greenstein , “ as demonstrated by our recently opened 600sqm Platypus Superstore in Melbourne Central and a Pitt Street Sydney Superstore opening mid-2019 . But we ’ re starting to explore how we broaden our footprint is the next stage , especially as the digital economy continues to grow .”
The long-term visions of the AGL Supply Chain team are focusing on that speed to consumer portion . At board level , it ’ s to create greater opportunities from a vertical product perspective too .
Accent recently secured the rights to the Supra brand , launched kids ’ specific online brand , The Trybe , and also purchased premium footwear brand Subtype , which plays in the premium space with one store and an online presence .
“ Our strategy at the moment is very much to continue to invest in store infrastructure where it makes sense and where we see growth , while obviously driving all the other channels
