Lucy Dowling-Fleet

Award-winning. East Anglia's best-connected agent.

Lucy Dowling-Fleet is one of the most experienced and well-regarded sales professionals in the UK gift and card sector. With 24 years of frontline sales experience across the East Anglia territory, she has built a reputation for consistently delivering results while forging long-lasting relationships with both independent and national retailers, garden centres, gift shops, boutiques, department stores, and jewellers among them.

Her career spans some of the most respected names in the industry. At Gund UK Ltd, just nine months in, Lucy was recognised at the company's annual conference in New York — winning Employee of the Year, Highest Average Order Value and Highest Weekly Sales Volume out of the entire UK and US sales force. She was subsequently headhunted by Xpressions Gifts, where she grew her territory turnover from £110k to over £306k - a 105% jump in three years, followed by consistent 8% annual growth thereafter.

From 2014 to 2020, Lucy held the East Anglia territory at Joe Davies (Manchester) Ltd — one of the UK's most respected and long-established giftware companies, trading since 1919 and home to over 10,000 product lines spanning jewellery, homewares, plush, fashion accessories, seasonal gifts and much more. Multiple winner of Best Service To The Independent Retailer, Joe Davies is widely regarded as the go-to supplier for independent gift shops across the UK. Covering department stores, garden centres, boutiques and jewellers across the region, Lucy built a strong retailer network and developed a broad and detailed knowledge of the gift market that continues to inform her work today.

After stepping back to raise her family, Lucy returned to the industry at Carte Blanche Group, immediately ranking as a top sales performer and being invited by the Managing Director to collaborate directly with the Product Design Team on new product strategy.

LV Fleet & Co. Ltd is the natural culmination of that career - a focused, professional agency that brings genuine expertise, exceptional relationships, and real commercial credibility to every brand it represents.
