Job description

Michael Hayes t/as Card Connection

I own a small but highly successful home-based greeting card franchise business and as such I am part of the Card Connection Franchisee network. Card Connection is by some distance the largest of the consignment greeting card suppliers in the UK, supplying to retail shops and post offices. My base is in Waterbeach, just outside Cambridge.

I have been trading for over ten years and the business has grown significantly. This growth has come from increasing sales from existing customers, gaining a significant number of new retail customers and the purchase of postcode areas from neighbouring franchisees.

My area includes a lot of Cambridgeshire and Suffolk, and a part of Norfolk (plus tiny bits of Essex and Herts) . Retail customers include Spar supermarkets, Budgens, Premier, Costcutter, Nisa and Londis stores, Marks and Spencer's BP Simply Food forecourt sites and all the main garage forecourts – Esso, BP and Shell. There are also over a hundred independents, including Post Offices, within my customer base. There are close to 250 customers in total.

Our products include greeting cards, seasonal cards and packs, gift wrap, gift bags and other ancillaries.

The stock room role includes:

  • Careful unpacking and sorting of returning card stock
  • Putting together boxes of cards for display in retail outlets following the bespoke picking list accurately, and ensuring a mix of design styles and genres within the selection
  • Collating and sorting orders when they come in
  • Putting together seasonal displays e.g Xmas, Mothers Day
  • Sorting returning seasonal cards by code and then design.
  • Keeping a close eye on stock levels so that we do not run short of stock on any card caption
  • Ordering new card stock from the franchisee ordering website
  • You will also get the opportunity to help out with merchandising if you wish to.
  • You will need the ability to be well-organised and be able to work using your own initiative.
  • No previous experience is required as full training will be provided.

Hours of work- up to 30 hours, Monday to Friday only normal working hours.

Ideally, you will live within easy travelling distance of Waterbeach village
