Trainee Branch Manager - Trade and Retail

• A chance to move into management over the next 12 months, with proper training behind you.
• A privately owned business with multiple branches and a direct line to the board.
• A fast-moving business where your ideas are heard, tested and put into practice without red tape holding you back.

THE CLIENT
A business that helps tradespeople and homeowners across the west of Scotland get exactly the finished job they have in mind, with the design done in-house so customers can see the result before they commit to a single product. Tradespeople come back because the service is quick and knowledgeable, and homeowners walk in and leave with a plan they can picture.

It is privately owned and growing to a plan: branches already trading across the west of Scotland, several more due next year, and a team being built to run them. The owners are close to the business, so decisions are made quickly and a good idea doesn't get lost in layers of management. If you suggest something, it gets heard, tested and, if it works, adopted.

For you, that growth is the whole point. The current manager at this branch is moving on next year to open new sites, and the plan is for you to take over the branch you have been training in. It is a fixed plan with a manager's seat at the end of it, which is a very different proposition from a retail or counter job where the next step up depends on someone leaving.
