A day in the life
Natasha, Store Manager
There are many different touchpoints for a store manager during day‑to‑day life. Whether it’s catching up with my direct reports or the store team, delivering news and updates, and making sure everything’s OK. Our people really shine, they’re passionate, they’re caring, they’re curious, they want to do a brilliant job.
Ben, Showroom Manager
A day’s work for me is coming into the store having a good plan. The team will be happy and ready to help our customers. I love having a busy shop floor, booking loads of customers in for their dream kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. I’m there to support my team if they need any help on the design system and on customer projects.
I make sure we comply legally and in a safe way as a store, and I empower my team to deliver stock management routines. It’s all about giving our trade customers a great experience and great advice, showing them the right products to build, create and improve their clients’ homes.
Our Retail Management teams help every one of our stores to lead and develop their teams so they can always put our customers first.
We’ll carry out a face‑to‑face or online interview (and we may request a second interview if the role you’re applying for is more complex).
Step 4
We’ll contact you with feedback, and maybe even a job offer.
