This isn't a sit-back area role. This is hands-on, high-volume, and commercially driven. You'll be leading multiple Garden Centres across Lancashire and South Yorkshire - supporting Garden Centre Managers, driving standards and making sure performance delivers.

  • Driving high retail standards across all locations
  • Monitoring multiple P&Ls and acting where needed
  • Managing recruitment and succession in your region
  • Troubleshooting issues quickly and effectively
  • Reporting directly to the Group Operations Director

  • Can motivate and stretch leadership teams
  • Are structured, organised and solutions-focused
  • Have high standards and strong attention to detail
