Entrepreneurial, ambitious, and will exciting plans firmly in motion, this is an opportunity to step into a Merchandiser role that has no ceiling.

 

Established for over 30 years, this business is a genuine success story and its future is just as bright! Still owned by the same two Directors who founded the company, their passion hasn't faded. They remain hands-on and closely involved, meaning that you won't be tucked away in the background. Instead, you'll have direct exposure to decision-makers, your ideas will be heard, and if you shine, you'll be recognised and rewarded. This is a business that backs its people and promotes from within - the current Head of Merchandising started in a Merchandiser position and now leads the entire merchandising function.

 

As Merchandiser, you'll be joining a fast-paced, high-energy environment where no two days are the same. You will take ownership of product areas and will play a key role in shaping the future of the range as the business continues to scale. Add in beautiful, modern offices with designated breakout spaces (including a pool table), and a workspace designed for comfort, creativity, and collaboration, and you've got a role built for someone with ambition who wants to carve out a standout career.
