This is perfect for gift-giving, especially during the holidays. Now, there's no need to include Anko products in your balikbayan box when traveling from Australia and New Zealand — you can buy them here.'SOMETIMES, one must make a bold decision in life — something life-altering that may even require uprooting from their original location.That's exactly what Rachel Turner, country manager of Anko Philippines, recently did. Based in her hometown of Perth, Australia, she agreed to relocate to the Philippines to work for Anko, Australia's home and lifestyle brand since 2017.Turner joined Anko in September 2024. 'As the Country Manager for the Philippines, I am responsible for developing our customer value proposition in the country while overseeing operational, financial, and merchandise strategies, supported by our Anko Philippines leadership team,' she shared with The Manila Times.Before this, Turner spent three years with Kmart, Anko's parent company, where she served as a zone manager across New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory.'Prior to my time at Kmart, I worked in various leadership roles for Australian and international brands,' Turner said. 'I have over 10 years of experience in retail, with a strong focus on retail operations across both Australian and global markets.'Turner also shared the challenges she faced when adapting Anko to the Philippine market.'The main challenges we encountered at the start were adjusting Anko's operations to the local market, understanding consumer preferences, and establishing a robust operational framework,' she said.'Despite these hurdles, the opportunity to grow Anko in a dynamic and expanding market was compelling. After my first visit here, it didn't take much convincing — the people are friendly and welcoming. Beyond the strategic role of managing Anko Philippines, I look forward to building a strong brand presence and catering to the unique needs of Filipino consumers.'During the pandemic, Turner worked with Kmart Australia as a zone manager.'The biggest challenges we faced included managing store operations during lockdowns, ensuring the safety of our staff and customers, and adapting to rapidly changing regulations,' she recalled.'We had to implement new health protocols quickly, manage supply chain disruptions, and shift to online sales to meet customer demands. Balancing these operational hurdles while maintaining team morale and customer satisfaction was particularly challenging.'Turner takes pride in being part of a reputable company like Anko.'I am incredibly proud to be part of Anko,' she said enthusiastically. 'Being associated with a brand known for its quality, affordability, and innovative products is truly rewarding. Anko's commitment to providing stylish and accessible home and lifestyle products resonates with my professional values, and I am honored to contribute to its growth and success in new markets like the Philippines.'Anko offers a wide selection of trendy, high-quality home products, from fitness gear and electronics to beauty products, baby items and children's toys. Its store opening in the Philippines is perfectly timed for the holidays. Products from Australia and New Zealand are now available locally.'The big advantage of having Anko products in the Philippines is the assurance of high-quality, trendy, and affordable offerings that cater to a wide range of needs,' Turner noted.'This is perfect for gift-giving, especially during the holidays. Now, there's no need to include Anko products in your balikbayan box when traveling from Australia and New Zealand — you can buy them here.'Anko also launched the campaign 'Kaya Bagay Tayo' with an exclusive Christmas bag designed by Filipino artist Jamie Bauza.'The partnership with Jamie Bauza is incredibly important for Anko as it establishes a strong local connection right from the start,' Turner said. 'It helps Anko resonate with Filipino consumers and demonstrates its commitment to integrating local artistry into its global brand identity.'Since its founding in 2017, Anko has grown significantly, and Turner envisions similar success in the Philippines.'Anko has become one of the most loved home and lifestyle brands in Australia. Known for its affordable, stylish, and high-quality products, Anko has expanded its product range and market presence, leveraging its strong foundation in Australia and New Zealand to enter new international markets,' Turner said.'To make Anko a household name in the Philippines, we plan to focus on local engagement, quality and affordability, strategic partnerships, and delivering exceptional customer experiences.'Anko recently reached a significant milestone by partnering with Ayala Malls to secure a prime location at Glorietta 2 in Makati City for its first store in the Philippines.'This partnership is a major milestone for Anko as it allows us to establish a strong presence in one of Metro Manila's most prestigious shopping destinations,' Turner said. 'This strategic location will help us reach a wider audience and enhance our brand visibility.'Turner also reflected on her journey and accomplishments. She credits her parents, who valued education and made sacrifices to provide her and her sister with access to quality schools.'They made many sacrifices throughout my childhood so my sister and I could attend well-regarded schools,' she said. 'With their support, I graduated in the top five percent of students in my state. I later attended the University of Western Australia, earning a double bachelor's degree in Commerce and Humanities. I studied part-time for 10 years while working full-time, which eventually led me to retail operations and the career I have today.'Turner enjoys traveling during her time off. In the past year, she visited Italy, Austria, Germany, London, Disney World in Florida, and Bali, Indonesia — a family favorite.'I'm looking forward to exploring the Philippines and visiting all the places people have recommended to me,' she said. 'In the next 12 months, I plan to travel closer to my new home, with visits to Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and a trip to Paris in June.'Despite living far from home, Turner remains close to her family.'I speak with them daily and draw strength from my connection with them,' she said. 'One of the most practical pieces of advice I received was from my dad: 'If you're sitting around thinking about work, you should go to work.' It reminds me not to procrastinate on tasks and to leave space for reflection when needed.'* * *QUICK QUESTIONSWHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST FEAR?Fear is a construct, if I'm afraid of something, I'll probably do it to prove to myself that I can.WHAT REALLY MAKES YOU ANGRY?Queue-jumping, it's the Australian in me.WHAT MOTIVATES YOU TO WORK HARD?My family, the sacrifices they have made for me and how I can repay them now.WHAT MAKES YOU LAUGH THE MOST?Facetime with my nephews, they always have some new, silly things to share.WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WON THE LOTTO?Buy apartments all over the world, so my family and I can spend time living in different places.IF YOU COULD SHARE A MEAL WITH ANY INDIVIDUAL LIVING OR DEAD, WHO WOULD THEY BE?My grandmother Hillie.

Based in her hometown of Perth, Australia, she agreed to relocate to the Philippines to work for Anko, Australia's home and lifestyle brand since 2017.<\/p>\r\r<p>Turner joined Anko in September 2024. \"As the Country Manager for the Philippines, I am responsible for developing our customer value proposition in the country while overseeing operational, financial, and merchandise strategies, supported by our Anko Philippines leadership team,\" she shared with The Manila Times.<\/p>\r\r<p>Before this, Turner spent three years with Kmart, Anko's parent company, where she served as a zone manager across New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory.<\/p>\r\r<p>\"Prior to my time at Kmart, I worked in various leadership roles for Australian and international brands,\" Turner said. \"I have over 10 years of experience in retail, with a strong focus on retail operations across both Australian and global markets.\"<\/p>\r\r<p>Turner also shared the challenges she faced when adapting Anko to the Philippine market.<\/p>\r\r<p>\"The main challenges we encountered at the start were adjusting Anko's operations to the local market, understanding consumer preferences, and establishing a robust operational framework,\" she said.<\/p>\r\r<p>\"Despite these hurdles, the opportunity to grow Anko in a dynamic and expanding market was compelling. After my first visit here, it didn't take much convincing \u2014 the people are friendly and welcoming. Beyond the strategic role of managing Anko Philippines, I look forward to building a strong brand presence and catering to the unique needs of Filipino consumers.\"<\/p>\r\r<p>During the pandemic, Turner worked with Kmart Australia as a zone manager.<\/p>\r\r<p>\"The biggest challenges we faced included managing store operations during lockdowns, ensuring the safety of our staff and customers, and adapting to rapidly changing regulations,\" she recalled.<\/p>\r\r<p>\"We had to implement new health protocols quickly, manage supply chain disruptions, and shift to online sales to meet customer demands. Balancing these operational hurdles while maintaining team morale and customer satisfaction was particularly challenging.\"<\/p>\r\r<p>Turner takes pride in being part of a reputable company like Anko.<\/p>\r\r<p>\"I am incredibly proud to be part of Anko,\" she said enthusiastically. \"Being associated with a brand known for its quality, affordability, and innovative products is truly rewarding. Anko's commitment to providing stylish and accessible home and lifestyle products resonates with my professional values, and I am honored to contribute to its growth and success in new markets like the Philippines.\"<\/p>\r\r<p>Anko offers a wide selection of trendy, high-quality home products, from fitness gear and electronics to beauty products, baby items and children's toys. Its store opening in the Philippines is perfectly timed for the holidays. Products from Australia and New Zealand are now available locally.<\/p>\r\r<p>\"The big advantage of having Anko products in the Philippines is the assurance of high-quality, trendy, and affordable offerings that cater to a wide range of needs,\" Turner noted.<\/p>\r\r<figure class=\"image\"><img alt=\"BRAND VISIBILITY Anko reaches a significant milestone by partnering with Ayala Malls to secure a prime location at Glorietta 2 in Makati City for its first store in the Philippines.

Now, there's no need to include Anko products in your balikbayan box when traveling from Australia and New Zealand \u2014 you can buy them here.\"<\/p>\r\r<p>Anko also launched the campaign \"Kaya Bagay Tayo\" with an exclusive Christmas bag designed by Filipino artist Jamie Bauza.<\/p>\r\r<p>\"The partnership with Jamie Bauza is incredibly important for Anko as it establishes a strong local connection right from the start,\" Turner said. \"It helps Anko resonate with Filipino consumers and demonstrates its commitment to integrating local artistry into its global brand identity.\"<\/p>\r\r<p>Since its founding in 2017, Anko has grown significantly, and Turner envisions similar success in the Philippines.<\/p>\r\r<p>\"Anko has become one of the most loved home and lifestyle brands in Australia. Known for its affordable, stylish, and high-quality products, Anko has expanded its product range and market presence, leveraging its strong foundation in Australia and New Zealand to enter new international markets,\" Turner said.<\/p>\r\r<p>\"To make Anko a household name in the Philippines, we plan to focus on local engagement, quality and affordability, strategic partnerships, and delivering exceptional customer experiences.\"<\/p>\r\r<p>Anko recently reached a significant milestone by partnering with Ayala Malls to secure a prime location at Glorietta 2 in Makati City for its first store in the Philippines.<\/p>\r\r<p>\"This partnership is a major milestone for Anko as it allows us to establish a strong presence in one of Metro Manila's most prestigious shopping destinations,\" Turner said. \"This strategic location will help us reach a wider audience and enhance our brand visibility.\"<\/p>\r\r<p>Turner also reflected on her journey and accomplishments. She credits her parents, who valued education and made sacrifices to provide her and her sister with access to quality schools.<\/p>\r\r<p>\"They made many sacrifices throughout my childhood so my sister and I could attend well-regarded schools,\" she said. \"With their support, I graduated in the top five percent of students in my state. I later attended the University of Western Australia, earning a double bachelor's degree in Commerce and Humanities. I studied part-time for 10 years while working full-time, which eventually led me to retail operations and the career I have today.\"<\/p>\r\r<p>Turner enjoys traveling during her time off. In the past year, she visited Italy, Austria, Germany, London, Disney World in Florida, and Bali, Indonesia \u2014 a family favorite.<\/p>\r\r<p>\"I'm looking forward to exploring the Philippines and visiting all the places people have recommended to me,\" she said. \"In the next 12 months, I plan to travel closer to my new home, with visits to Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and a trip to Paris in June.\"<\/p>\r\r<p>Despite living far from home, Turner remains close to her family.<\/p>\r\r<p>\"I speak with them daily and draw strength from my connection with them,\" she said. \"One of the most practical pieces of advice I received was from my dad: 'If you're sitting around thinking about work, you should go to work.' It reminds me not to procrastinate on tasks and to leave space for reflection when needed.\"<\/p>\r\r<p>* * *<\/p>\r\r<h3><span style=\"color:#f39c12\"><strong>QUICK QUESTIONS<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\r\r<p><strong>WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST FEAR?<\/strong><\/p>\r\r<p>Fear is a construct, if I'm afraid of something, I'll probably do it to prove to myself that I can.<\/p>\r\r<p><strong>WHAT REALLY MAKES YOU ANGRY?<\/strong><\/p>\r\r<p>Queue-jumping, it's the Australian in me.<\/p>\r\r<p><strong>WHAT MOTIVATES YOU TO WORK HARD?<\/strong><\/p>\r\r<p>My family, the sacrifices they have made for me and how I can repay them now.<\/p>\r\r<p><strong>WHAT MAKES YOU LAUGH THE MOST?<\/strong><\/p>\r\r<p>Facetime with my nephews, they always have some new, silly things to share.<\/p>\r\r<p><strong>WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WON THE LOTTO?<\/strong><\/p>\r\r<p>Buy apartments all over the world, so my family and I can spend time living in different places.<\/p>\r\r<p><strong>IF YOU COULD SHARE A MEAL WITH ANY INDIVIDUAL LIVING OR DEAD, WHO WOULD THEY BE?<\/strong><\/p>\r\r<p>My grandmother Hillie.

Based in her hometown of Perth, Australia, she agreed to relocate to the Philippines to work for Anko, Australia's home and lifestyle brand since 2017.</p><p>Turner joined Anko in September 2024. "As the Country Manager for the Philippines, I am responsible for developing our customer value proposition in the country while overseeing operational, financial, and merchandise strategies, supported by our Anko Philippines leadership team," she shared with The Manila Times.</p> <div class="article-body-ad" data-ad="article_body_ad_one"></div> <p>Before this, Turner spent three years with Kmart, Anko's parent company, where she served as a zone manager across New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory.</p><p>"Prior to my time at Kmart, I worked in various leadership roles for Australian and international brands," Turner said. "I have over 10 years of experience in retail, with a strong focus on retail operations across both Australian and global markets."</p> <div class="widget-container article-embedded-newsletter-form manila-newsletter-theme flex-row pos-relative"> <div class="content-row flex-column"> <div class="close-btn"></div> <div class="content-top"> <div class="nf-title text-center mr-b10">Get the latest news <br class="br-line"/> delivered to your inbox</div> <div class="nf-sub-title mr-b20 text-center roboto-b">Sign up for The Manila Times newsletters</div> <div class="form-row flex-column flex-between"> <div class="col-1"> <input class="nf-email roboto-b newsletter_email" type="email" placeholder="Enter Your Email" required /> <div class="nf-message"></div> </div> <div class="col-2"> <input class="nf-submit roboto-b newsletter-button" type="button" value="SIGN UP" /> </div> </div> </div> <div class="content-bottom"> <div class="text-center roboto-b black-color">By signing up with an email address, I acknowledge that I have read and agree to the <a href="/terms-of-service" title="Terms of Service">Terms of Service</a> and <a href="/privacy-policy" title="Privacy Policy">Privacy Policy</a>.</div> </div> </div> </div> <p>Turner also shared the challenges she faced when adapting Anko to the Philippine market.</p><p>"The main challenges we encountered at the start were adjusting Anko's operations to the local market, understanding consumer preferences, and establishing a robust operational framework," she said.</p> <div class="article-ad-one article-ad" data-ad="article_body_ad_one"> <span class='mt-ad-container'> <span class='ad-caption'>Advertisement</span>  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1702969048652-0' class='body-ad' > <script> googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1702969048652-0'); }); </script></div> </span> </div> <p>"Despite these hurdles, the opportunity to grow Anko in a dynamic and expanding market was compelling.

Its store opening in the Philippines is perfectly timed for the holidays.

Now, there's no need to include Anko products in your balikbayan box when traveling from Australia and New Zealand — you can buy them here."</p> <p>Anko also launched the campaign "Kaya Bagay Tayo" with an exclusive Christmas bag designed by Filipino artist Jamie Bauza.</p><p>"The partnership with Jamie Bauza is incredibly important for Anko as it establishes a strong local connection right from the start," Turner said. "It helps Anko resonate with Filipino consumers and demonstrates its commitment to integrating local artistry into its global brand identity."</p><p>Since its founding in 2017, Anko has grown significantly, and Turner envisions similar success in the Philippines.</p> <div class="article-ad-four article-ad" data-ad="article_ad_four"> <span class='mt-ad-container'><span class='ad-caption'>Advertisement</span>  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1703201147500-0' class='body-ad'> <script> googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1703201147500-0'); }); </script> </div> </span> </div> <p>"Anko has become one of the most loved home and lifestyle brands in Australia.

She credits her parents, who valued education and made sacrifices to provide her and her sister with access to quality schools.</p><p>"They made many sacrifices throughout my childhood so my sister and I could attend well-regarded schools," she said. "With their support, I graduated in the top five percent of students in my state. I later attended the University of Western Australia, earning a double bachelor's degree in Commerce and Humanities. I studied part-time for 10 years while working full-time, which eventually led me to retail operations and the career I have today."</p><p>Turner enjoys traveling during her time off. In the past year, she visited Italy, Austria, Germany, London, Disney World in Florida, and Bali, Indonesia — a family favorite.</p><p>"I'm looking forward to exploring the Philippines and visiting all the places people have recommended to me," she said. "In the next 12 months, I plan to travel closer to my new home, with visits to Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and a trip to Paris in June."</p> <div class="article-ad-six article-ad" data-ad="article_body_ad_six"> <span class='mt-ad-container'><span class='ad-caption'>Advertisement</span>  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1703201252104-0' class='body-ad'> <script> googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1703201252104-0'); }); </script> </div> </span> </div> <p>Despite living far from home, Turner remains close to her family.</p><p>"I speak with them daily and draw strength from my connection with them," she said.
