JOIN OUR TEAM
We’re a family business, headed by Jamie and Lou Graham, and that means we do things differently. We strive to keep things friendly and passionate in a professional world. To use friendship rules over normal corporate ones. We use the phrase ‘a band of amateurs’ to describe ourselves sometimes – though many of our team are far from that! But it’s all about keeping that ‘always learning’ ethos and approach.
Our company is a community and only as good as the people who form it. That’s why we are always on the hunt for great people to bring their energy, ideas and determination to our special culture.
Our HQ in Bath is relaxed, informal and dog friendly. There’s a log burner for cosy winter mornings and at Christmas we’ll have the carols blaring. We’re lovers of great company, adventures, delicious food and dog walks.
All our current career opportunities are listed below.

You’ll be able to adapt to the quickly changing circumstances of a fast-moving retail environment. You’ll have a good head and a good heart.
You’re likely to love travel, nature, dogs (or cats!), good food and, of course, beautiful homeware.
