Agency Parnell is a boutique wholesale agency representing a curated group of luxury fashion brands. We work with brands that prioritise craft, identity, and support in growing long-term equity, managing distribution with discipline, building retailer relationships with care, and growing accounts with intention rather than volume.
This is a flexible hour, fully remote position which must be based in the U.K. It is a structured entry point into wholesale, designed to teach the commercial side of luxury fashion from the ground up within a senior-led, boutique environment. This is a training role and no prior wholesale experience is expected, but previous internship roles would be ideal.
As Wholesale Graduate Trainee, you will:
- Learn the full sales cycle from order placement through to in-season sell-through, working alongside the team on live accounts across our brand roster.
- Begin by supporting the day-to-day running of existing retailer relationships and take on more direct responsibility as your product knowledge and confidence build.
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.
