About the Company
Our client is a growing and well-established storage solutions provider based in Greater Manchester, known for delivering excellent customer service, modern facilities and a friendly, professional experience for customers. Due to continued growth, they are now looking for a customer-focused and commercially minded Store Manager to take ownership of their Hale Barns site.
The Role
This is a great opportunity for someone from a retail, hospitality, customer service, sales or site management background who wants to retain commercial responsibility and team leadership, while moving into a role offering a much better work-life balance. The site is located next to Manchester Airport, with free parking and easy access, making it convenient for candidates travelling from across South Manchester, Trafford and the surrounding areas. As Store Manager, you will take full responsibility for the day-to-day running and performance of the site. You will lead from the front across customer service, sales, operations, compliance and site standards, ensuring customers receive a professional and friendly service while driving commercial performance. You will take ownership of enquiries, conversions, occupancy, local activity and the overall customer experience, while ensuring the facility remains safe, secure, clean and well presented.
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.

Work-Life Balance
One of the biggest attractions of this role is the working pattern. Unlike many retail and hospitality management positions, there are:
- No late-night finishes
- Sociable daytime working hours
- Shorter weekend trading hours
- 5 days out of 7
- Every other weekend off
- A much more predictable and sustainable working pattern
It is a great option for someone who enjoys managing a customer-facing business but wants to move away from late nights, unpredictable rotas and working every weekend.

- Maintain high standards across site presentation, cleanliness, safety and security
- Handle administration, contracts and customer records accurately
- Resolve customer queries quickly and professionally
- Ensure compliance, operational standards and company procedures are followed
- Lead, motivate and support the team to deliver a high level of service
- Report on site performance, activity and opportunities for improvement
About You
- Experience within retail, hospitality, sales, customer service, storage, leisure, property, automotive or another customer-facing management environment
- Previous experience as a Store Manager, Assistant Manager, Branch Manager, Deputy Manager, Sales Manager or similar would be ideal
- Commercially minded and comfortable working towards sales targets
- Confident communicator with strong people skills
- Proactive, organised and comfortable taking ownership
- Strong attention to detail and high standards of presentation
- Positive, hands-on approach
- Comfortable working in a customer-led, sales-focused environment
