Northern Reach

Beauty & Luxury Retail · Local Retail Expertise

Your brand.
Your standards.
Executed up North.

Northern Reach Services bridges the gap between London-based Beauty & Wellness brands and their retail doors in Scotland and Northern England — delivering consistent in-store execution where there is the absence of a remote field team.

Regions. One partner.

Built on 15 years inside the industry.

Northern Reach Services was founded by Carina Kinnoch Moscardini, a Beauty & Luxury FMCG professional with over 15 years of experience — progressing from Area Manager to Senior National Account Manager across businesses of all sizes and managing relationships with the UK's most important retail partners.

Carina is based in central Scotland — not a London office with a map on the wall. She knows these cities, these stores, and these retail teams personally. That proximity and familiarity is what makes Northern Reach Services genuinely different from a southern agency trying to service the North remotely.

Having spent her career watching northern doors go underserviced, Carina founded Northern Reach Services to solve the problem directly — bringing the same standards, attention, and brand care to stores in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester, and Leeds as your team delivers in London.

The North is where your retail doors are.

For London-based brands, it can seem like the key retail locations are on your doorstep — but the data tells a different story. The majority of Top Performing retailers all have regional flagship doors located between Manchester & central Scotland. Without a field presence up North, those doors are going unserviced.

Without a field presence in the North, brands risk poorly merchandised bays, out-of-date stock, gunky testers, and a customer journey that doesn't reflect what you've built. Northern Reach Services ensures your brand shows up — correctly, consistently, and to your standard.

In-store excellence, executed for you.

Merchandising & Bay Maintenance

Correctly merchandised bays built to your brand's own schematics — so every store looks the way you intended, not however it ended up.

POS Installation

Point-of-sale materials installed correctly and on brand — ensuring your investment in creative and print doesn't go to waste in a back room.

Stock Checks

Min/Max level audits and best-before date checks — identifying gaps, flagging out-of-date product, and making sure your shelf is always full and fresh.

Tester Replenishment

Tester stations kept clean, hygienic, and fully stocked — because a gunky or empty tester is often the reason a customer walks away without buying.

Event Support

On-the-ground support for in-store events, launches, and activations — from setup and staffing coordination to brand education delivery on the day.

Competitor Analysis

Spacing analysis and recommendations based on what's happening on the floor — real intelligence from inside the store, not from a spreadsheet in London.

Local Store Relationships

Building and maintaining genuine relationships with store managers and beauty teams — the kind of relationship that gets your brand prioritised when floor space opens up.

In-Store Education

Top-level brand education delivered directly to store staff — so your products are recommended with confidence, not passed over for something better-known.

Property & Location Advice

Providing advice on location and analysis on alternative physical property considerations — so you can make confident, informed decisions about your northern retail footprint.

The smarter way to go North.

01

Sector-specific expertise

15+ years inside Beauty & Luxury FMCG — not a generalist agency. We understand your category, your retail partners, and what good looks like on the floor.

02

Based where your doors are

Central Scotland puts us within reach of Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle and beyond — No time away from your desk losing valuable hours travelling.

03

Fraction of the cost of a hire

No NI, no office space, no recruitment fees. Experienced field expertise on a flexible basis — when you need it, scaled to your footprint.

04

A personal service, not an agency layer

You work directly with the person who walks into your stores. Clear reporting, honest feedback, and a genuine investment in how your brand shows up.

"Your London team shouldn't have to choose between a seven-hour round trip and leaving a top-10 door unserviced."

Many brands accept that their northern doors won't receive the same level of attention as those in London. Northern Reach Services exists to change that — bringing your standards, your voice, and your brand vision to every store visit, wherever it is.
