A day in the life

Ellie, Showroom Team Leader

Communication is at the heart of everything we do. We need to give advice and tell each customer's story, style and ideas through their dream space - whether they just want a design doing, all the way to buying a new property. We share success as a team. It’s very satisfying.

Ben, Showroom Manager

A day's work for me is coming into the store having a good plan. The team will be happy and ready to help our customers. I love having a busy shop floor, booking loads of customers in for their dream kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. I'm there to support my team if they need any help on the design system and on customer projects.

Caitlin, Showroom Customer Advisor

I work with a diverse range of people who all have their own quirks and that’s what I love. A really good day at work is being on shift with one of my closest colleagues or helping a lovely customer and making their day. That’s most days really!

Ellie 2, Showroom Team Leader

Whatever the ask or the big idea, our Showroom teams provide the advice and expertise needed to bring every customer vision to life.
