At Crown Paints, part of our journey to excellence involves recruiting based on four core values: Connecting to customers, Constantly challenging, Socially committed, Inspiring confidence. These values reflect who we are and our aspirations for the future.

We seek individuals with strong sales experience, ideally within retail, demonstrating excellent customer service skills and the ability to meet sales targets.

• The opportunity to earn a performance bonus each quarter
• 22 days of basic annual leave (pro-rata) plus 10 bank holidays
• A variety of discounts and vouchers on Crown products
