The Teams

You will have the chance to work across branded suppliers and own brand supply chain. Within each department you will have the opportunity to make decisions influencing sell through, following through strategic plans and effecting profitability.

We drive personal development and provide all the tools to help you feel empowered. There are many examples of people who have joined the team and progressed quickly. We invest in our training and development and this role will be no different. Our aim is to help create an environment where you can achieve, progress, and grow, in addition to supporting, training, and mentoring the junior team, celebrating progression and success.

About You

We love people with passion. It can be with fashion, it can be with something else but we want to help utilise that passion in to your career. We encourage people to defy the ordinary.

You will be driven, ambitious and motivated and we will harness this into your development. You will care about the stakeholders and customers.

We recognise and value the importance of diversity to help make sure we have lots of different perspectives when we are providing service to our colleagues and customers. We know that this will help us build a great service, which our customers will love. This is great news for our business. Diversity for us is also, importantly, about building happy teams full of people that want to learn and want to be inspired by each other and our different experiences.

Recruitment Process

With the COVID-19 situation beginning to abate, our teams are all working a in a hybrid mix of office and home working, adjusting to this new way of working as best we can - and as such we’ll help make the interview process as clear and stress-free as possible, giving you the same opportunity as if we were meeting face to face.

We review applications on an individual basis, and if we feel you would be a good fit we’ll invite you for a call or Teams video for an informal chat about the role, and to see if we’re a good fit for you.

We value open and honest conversations and collaboration, giving you a chance to learn about what we are doing in an informal and friendly environment. We want to know about you and why you feel that this is the opportunity for you.

Please note, this is not a remote role and our expectation is that you will be able to attend Head Office in a hybrid way, in Greater Manchester.
