GFD Trading Ltd | Stockton-on-Tees (Office-based)

Great marketing is about more than selling products. It’s about understanding customers, telling compelling stories, and creating connections that drive action.
At GFD Trading Ltd, you’ll be part of that process. Established 18 years ago, we are a growing retailer in the home improvement sector, with several successful online brands operating across the UK in both the B2C and B2B spaces.
We’re looking for a Content and Marketing Executive to create engaging content and support campaigns across our brands, reaching homeowners, trade professionals, and businesses through a variety of marketing channels.
This is a great opportunity for someone looking to develop their marketing skills. Whether you’re a recent graduate, have experience in a similar role, or have taken another route into marketing, we’re looking for someone with strong writing skills, a good eye for visual content, and the enthusiasm to learn.

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
