Job description
Hirst Yarns are looking for an organized individual to join their business, to both help support and grow their UK customer portfolio. This is a varied role combining, customer service, admin, account management, purchase order processing, and a small amount of invoicing.
Hirst Yarns is a UK based yarn agency, representing some of Italy's most prestigious cashmere and wool spinners. The business works closely with the UK's luxury fashion houses and world-famous Scottish knitting and weaving Mills, providing a seamless link between the UK and Italy. Having grown substantially over the last 5 years, Hirst Yarns are now looking to bring someone on board, initially as a maternity cover but with the potential to extend to further strengthen their customer service offering.

Other Key Skills include:
- Verbal and written communication skills
- Excellent understanding of the company
- Strong customer service skills
- Proficient with Outlook & Excel
- Multitasking skills
- Listening skills
- Interpersonal skills

This is a great opportunity for someone to join a family business that can offer flexibility, remote working, and an opportunity to work in the luxury, fast paced world of fashion. There is also the opportunity for the successful applicant to join the company twice a year at Pitti Filati (the world's largest luxury yarn trade show in Florence, Italy.)
