The business of being you
Your personal qualities
It’s important to look at yourself, to decide what’s important to
you and excites you. We need people who have a passion for
customers and the drive and motivation to be the best. We want real
entrepreneurs who love the buzz and energy of retail. If you think
about it, our Store Managers don’t lead their teams from behind a
desk: they’re out there, on the shop floor, getting involved. It’s
a hard, tiring and challenging role, but for the right people it’s
an exhilarating one because of the very challenges and complex
tasks it presents.
Essentially, this programme will help you to be the very best
version of yourself. It will bring out your natural leadership and
problem-solving skills, your solutions and delivery focus. You’ll
learn how to direct your passion and energy into caring for
customers and selling our products. You’ll make it your goal to be
customer-led, to understand what people want, then go out of your
way to deliver it. If you have the determination, tenacity and
belief in delivering excellence, this is your chance to get noticed
on a global stage.
Your qualifications
We need graduates with GCSEs in Maths and English (Grade C or
above). Your choice of degree subject isn’t too important, although
a business or retail-related degree would be ideal. Candidates will
need to have permanent residency status – we can’t accept anyone on
the programme who is on a time-limited Visa. So, if you’re in the
UK on a Tier 1 or Post Graduate Work Visa, unfortunately you won’t
be eligible to apply for the programme.
