Head Of Retail - North

Head of Retail - North | North of England

Salary £DOE

This isn't a head office role.

This is full regional accountability.

You’ll own the retail performance of a significant garden centre group across the North - leading through Regional Managers to deliver sales, margin, standards and customer experience.

• Sales and profit growth
• Margin and labour control
• Stock discipline and waste
• Retail standards and audit scores
• Strength of your Regional Managers

If the numbers move, you’ll know why.

If performance dips, you’ll act fast.

You won’t run stores day-to-day.

You’ll build the structure that ensures they perform.

• Coaching and stretching Regional Managers
• Embedding consistent retail standards
• Driving operational discipline
• Using data to make sharp commercial decisions
• Partnering cross-functionally to remove blockers

You’re already leading large multi‑site retail estates (40+ sites ideally).

You’ve delivered profit growth.

You’ve developed senior operators.

You’re commercially decisive and comfortable being held accountable.

You’re as credible in a store walk as you are in a boardroom.

• High visibility.
• High impact.
• Real influence over retail strategy and execution.

If you want proper ownership of performance - not just oversight - this is worth a conversation.
