The Role

The main part of the role is holding meetings with brides and grooms and helping them put their wedding lists together. All training for this will be provided but an interest in homeware and the ability to amass product knowledge quickly will be key. You will also be helping brides and grooms with their lists via email and over the phone and working closely with the company's other offices on a daily basis.

• The role is very much what you make of it and it does require someone proactive who can see what needs to be done.
• The Showroom needs to be constantly refreshed with new displays and samples and it needs to be kept immaculate at all times. The office must be kept organised and tidy with everything that is required for meetings ready and waiting.
• It is the company's key objective to maintain excellent relationships with their suppliers, viewing their new collections and choosing samples for The Showroom.
• There are several trade fairs which are an important opportunity to source new suppliers and samples.
• There is an increasingly strong event management element to the role, having previously held events such as cheese and wine tastings to tea parties, wedding fairs and press events. This is an area they are keen to expand on.

Please note the successful candidate will manage their own diary and can do as many evening appointments as they would like. The wedding list industry tends to be fairly seasonal so there will be busy and quiet periods.
