* Excellent leadership skills with the ability to motivate, develop, and inspire teams
* Creativity in delivering dynamic and engaging retail displays
* Experience driving sales performance and achieving business objectives
* A hands-on, positive approach with a strong customer-first mindset
* Previous experience within a garden centre or retail environment
In return, you'll receive an attractive package including:
* Competitive salary, tailored to experience
* 20% employee discount across all brands
* 32 days holiday including Bank Holidays, increasing with length of service
* An additional day off for your birthday
* 3% contributory pension scheme
* Subsidised meals in the restaurant
* Free on-site parking
