Role Overview & Purpose
We have an exciting opportunity to join our Apricot family as an Area Concession Manager, covering our concessions across West London and the West M25 corridor.
This is a hands-on and varied role where no two days are the same. You’ll take ownership of the performance and presentation of our concessions, working across a number of leading high street host stores.
You’ll be responsible for maximising sales, maintaining excellent visual merchandising standards and ensuring our Apricot brand is represented consistently across your area. From managing stock and implementing campaigns to building strong relationships with host store teams, you’ll play an important role in driving the success of our concession network.
Regular travel across the area is an essential part of the role, so a full UK driving licence is required. A company car will be provided with business mileage expenses paid in line with company policy. It will be necessary to use public transport on at least 1 day per week with all travel expenses paid.
