Exeter · Permanent

The Role (AKA: The Person Who Makes Everything Run Smoothly)

As our Retail Store Manager, you’ll be the heartbeat of the shop — leading the team, shaping the customer experience, and keeping the store running like a well-oiled machine.

You’ll be hands-on, people-focused, commercially switched-on, and not afraid to roll up your sleeves.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Leading, motivating, and developing a small, friendly team
  • Keeping stock levels sharp and supplier relationships strong
  • Making sure the store looks great, feels welcoming, and runs safely
  • Driving sales through smart merchandising and local promotions
  • Handling customer queries, bespoke orders, and the occasional curveball
  • Owning health & safety and compliance
  • Reporting on KPIs and helping shape future store strategy

What You Bring

  • Proven retail management experience (DIY/hardware/trade = big bonus)
  • Confident leadership and people-management skills
  • Commercial awareness and a practical, problem-solving mindset
  • Strong communication and customer service instincts
  • Comfortable with EPOS systems and basic financial reporting
  • A genuine interest in DIY, home improvement, or tools (we love that stuff)

Perks & Benefits

  • Competitive salary + bonus scheme
  • Staff discount on everything (dangerous if you love tools)
  • Training and development opportunities
  • A supportive, community-focused team who actually enjoy working together

Ready to Build Something Great?

If you’re a natural leader who loves retail, thrives in a hands-on environment, and gets a buzz from helping customers solve problems, we’d love to hear from you.
