Ready to build something special in Harrogate?

We've got an exciting new project on the go. We're opening a brand-new store in Harrogate, and we're looking for a sharp, hands on Store Manager to take the reins from day one.

At 15,000 square feet, this is a more compact layout than we're used to, but it packs a serious punch. It seamlessly blends our core retail trade with a dedicated, premium Kitchen & Bathroom Design & Installation showroom. Managing both the fast paced retail floor and high ticket project sales means a lot more complexity - and a lot more reward. You'll also be a key player across the region, which means frequent travel over to our York store.

Wickes is more than just the nation's favourite DIY store. It's a place where we'll ask for your ideas, listen to your opinions and value the contributions you make. Chances are you've never experienced anything quite like our culture. All our colleagues come from different backgrounds, but what we all have in common is a determination to succeed and a passion for being the best we can be. If that sounds like you, we'll make you feel right at home.
