About the Role

We're looking for a Seasonal & Garden Furniture Manager to join a large and well-established garden centre in Surrey. This is an exciting opportunity to lead a key department, overseeing a diverse product range including garden furniture, BBQs and ever-changing seasonal lines.

Why This Role Is a Great Fit

• Opportunity to join one of the region's largest and busiest garden centres in the UK.
• Lead a substantial retail department with a varied and engaging product range.
• Join a stable and growing business with genuine long-term career opportunities.
• Work alongside an experienced leadership team within a supportive retail environment.
