Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.

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.

At over 34 years young, the business continues to grow with strong demand for our well-renowned craftsmanship and ability to restore furniture back to its former glory, or better.

Whether we're refurbishing and reupholstering an entire lounge suite for a five-star hotel, rebuilding a statement table for Oxford University or restoring period benches for The National Gallery, it's our commitment to quality, sustainability and innovation that keeps us at the forefront of our industry.

Oh... and we're also the creators of the famous "Indestructible Student Chair" loved by colleges and universities across the UK.

Where You Come In:

We're looking for an ambitious relationship-builder with the confidence to pick up the phone, start conversations and spot opportunities others might miss.

You don't need decades of sales experience.

What matters more is attitude.

You'll be naturally curious, commercially aware and motivated by the idea of helping grow a successful business with a strong reputation and exciting future.

You'll play a key role in identifying opportunities, building relationships and helping us introduce our services to new clients who can benefit from our unique approach to sustainable furniture solutions.

What Your Day Might Look Like:

  • Identifying and developing new business opportunities
  • Building relationships with prospective clients across multiple sectors
  • Following up on leads and generating your own opportunities
  • Networking and developing long-term commercial relationships
  • Meeting clients and understanding their furniture requirements
  • Presenting solutions that combine sustainability, quality and value
  • Working closely with internal teams to deliver exceptional customer experiences
  • Supporting the continued growth of the business
