Head of Retail | North of England

Salary £DOE
This isn’t a head office role.
This is full regional accountability.
You’ll own the retail performance of a significant garden centre group across the North - leading through Regional Managers to deliver sales, margin, standards and customer experience.
What You’ll Be Measured On
*Sales and profit growth
*Margin and labour control
*Stock discipline and waste
*Retail standards and audit scores
*Strength of your Regional Managers
If the numbers move, you’ll know why.
If performance dips, you’ll act fast.
The Reality
You won’t run stores day-to-day.
You’ll build the structure that ensures they perform.
That means:
*Coaching and stretching Regional Managers
*Embedding consistent retail standards
*Driving operational discipline
*Using data to make sharp commercial decisions
*Partnering cross-functionally to remove blockers
About You
You’re already leading large multi-site retail estates (40+ sites ideally).
You’ve delivered profit growth.
You’ve developed senior operators.
You’re commercially decisive and comfortable being held accountable.
You’re as credible in a store walk as you are in a boardroom.
Why This Role?
High visibility.
High impact.
Real influence over retail strategy and execution.
If you want proper ownership of performance - not just oversight - this is worth a conversation.
