We are on a mission to further the lifecycle of these products by redirecting them to homes at half-price or less. Our social enterprise operates 12 stores, collaborates with thousands of inspired international brands and places technology at the heart of our activities. In the past year, we have witnessed remarkable growth in our online business, while successfully expanding our sourcing network to France and the UK.

Our Buying team is ultimately responsible for the products we sell. While most retail buyers only go out a few times a year, ours are always out saving amazing products at the verge of disposal. As an Purchasing Account Executive, you will be introduced to buying and given the chance to gain invaluable experience, analysing and identifying business trends while reporting directly to an experienced Purchasing Lead. After sufficient training, you will start using your negotiation skills to make buying decisions on the spot. This means you can stay very close to the business and be more flexible – as well as negotiate some fantastic deals. You will be an entrepreneur, have the responsibility and make a big impact. We offer a really exciting career path for a long-term future.
