People love working in our stores, and we have the employee engagement results to prove it. Home to our brands Craghoppers, Dare2b, and Regatta, each store features a diverse team as varied as our customers.

The difference you'll make (after full training):

1. You will deliver a first-class customer experience tailored to individual needs.
2. With your warm personality and enthusiasm, the store will always be friendly and inviting to both regular and new customers.
3. Clothing and accessories will be replenished and displayed with your intuitive merchandising skills.
4. Your in-depth product knowledge of features and benefits allows you to provide expert advice on what customers need for their adventures.
