Why join?
This is a business that genuinely puts people at the heart of everything they do - both their customers and their teams. They''re proud of their heritage and excited about their future.

The role offers the chance to be part of that story - to shape, influence and elevate the people agenda across the whole business.

If you''re a passionate HR leader looking to make a difference in a values-led, premium brand - we''d love to hear from you.
