Head of Retail and Brand Partnerships – Brityard

James Ball is the Head of Retail and Brand Partnerships at Brityard. Formerly Brand Manager at Topshop and Topman for 11 years and Brand Manager at Ben Sheran for 5 years.

His current role at Brityard is transforming a digital marketplace to a physical destination. Challenging traditional retail norms, Brityard operates a membership model that goes beyond offering shelf space and instead enables brands and talent to utilise premium high street real estate for brand-led activations, events, sampling, networking, collaborations and more.
Brityard aspires to build an empowered community with shared values and beliefs, envisioning international expansion to offer a comprehensive blend of immersive retail, hospitality, and event experiences showcasing the diverse excellence of "brand Britain" on the global stage.
