We're working with a highly regarded garden retail group that is looking for an experienced and commercially minded Home Department Manager to take ownership of their beautifully curated Home Department.

If you care about merchandising done properly, understand what drives sales, and enjoy running a department to a high standard, this could be the perfect role.

Our client operates within a structured, premium garden retail environment where presentation is key. The product range is carefully selected, and they pride themselves on providing high-quality stock to ensure retail standards are consistently upheld.
