Designate Retail Managers
Starting salary of £20-£25K + 8 weeks’ training + full benefits + excellent prospects
You could be managing your own pub in less than four months, thanks to our fast-track training that will take your retail management experience and show you how to become the best in pub management. Our Designate Manager programme is designed especially for people with good customer-facing retail management experience and, although it's hard work, it will make the most of your flair, stamina, humour and ability to rise to the challenge.
You'll spend your first 2 weeks at our Head Office, getting a feel for the company. Then you'll spend between 4 and 8 weeks in a 'Training House' - learning the ropes from experienced managers.
