About Stock & Flow
Built on real retail experience
Stock & Flow was founded with a simple belief: independent retailers deserve advisors who have actually done the job. Not consultants with MBAs and slide decks, but people who have opened stores, managed teams, and know what it takes to make a shop successful.

Meet Tracy
From the shop floor to district leadership
Tracy started where every good retailer starts: on the shop floor. From assistant manager to running two stores simultaneously, then store manager, and finally district manager overseeing 12 locations and 160 team members.
Along the way, she opened 9 new stores across the UK, built training programmes from scratch, and consistently delivered 10-15% sales growth. Her teams stayed too, with a 73% retention rate in an industry known for high turnover.
That experience came from years at The Works, Flying Tiger Copenhagen, and Miniso. Three very different retailers, but the fundamentals are always the same: look after your people, know your stock, and never stop improving.
Stock & Flow exists because independent retailers deserve access to this level of experience. Not watered down. Not overpriced. Just honest, practical help from someone who gets it.

How We Work
Our values
Honesty First
We tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. Real advice, even when it is uncomfortable.
Practical Over Perfect
We focus on what works in real shops with real constraints. No ivory tower thinking here.
Long-Term Relationships
We are not interested in quick wins. We build partnerships that last because your success is our success.
Why We Do This
The high street matters
Independent retailers are the lifeblood of British communities. They are the shops that know your name, that sponsor the local football team, that stay open late when you need them.
But running an independent shop has never been harder. Rising costs, online competition, and complex regulations make it tough to compete, especially without the resources of big chains.
Stock & Flow exists to level that playing field. We bring the operational expertise and strategic thinking that big retailers take for granted, and we make it accessible to family-run businesses.
Because when independent retailers thrive, communities thrive.
