Crafting a Dynamic Transition for Our Next Store Manager

About Appleby Westward

Appleby Westward is the SPAR Wholesaler and Retailer covering the West of England, with core operations from our Retail Distribution Centre and Support Offices in Saltash, Cornwall.

Our team of around 2,000 colleagues powers wholesale services for both independent retail outlets and our company-owned SPAR stores, extending across communities from Chichester in the east to Land’s End in the west and as far north as Bristol and Salisbury.

What We Offer Locally

As the leading convenience brand, SPAR not only stocks groceries, chilled foods, and food-to-go but also hosts essential local services, including:

  • Post Office collections
  • Lottery terminals
  • Online collection and delivery services

Our mission is rooted in excellent customer service, and we take pride in supporting vibrant local communities. We’re also actively involved in fundraising, particularly with our main charity partner—Marie Curie—to uplift our communities.

About Our Pinhoe Location

Nestled in the charming suburb of Exeter, Pinhoe is beloved for its friendly neighbourhood spirit and practical convenience for residents.

Our local SPAR store on Main Road serves as a go-to destination, offering:

  • A curated grocery range
  • Fresh produce
  • On-site amenities, including an in-store bakery and lottery outlet

The store is a proudly integrated part of Pinhoe’s daily routines—re voulu among locals for its accessibility and service.

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.
