Skilled staff are our greatest asset, we are always pleased to hear from talented people who are interested to join our production, sales and administration teams.

Do you have an interest in sewing or craftwork?

We currently have around seventy staff in our workrooms.  Qualifications vary from those with little formal training to those with degree level education.  The main requirement for our staff is a natural ability to work with detail, and the dedication to work to the highest standard to create the very best possible items for our customers.

We like to offer our staff the chance to take City and Guild National Vocational Qualifications in a subject relevant to their work with us, around 80% of our staff have taken and passed NVQs with us.  Both mature and younger members of staff have achieved excellent standards and qualifications that will stay with them for life.

School or College leavers

If you are leaving school or college and have an interest in sewing or craftwork, art and design and would like to follow a career in bridal wear, textiles and design, we will be very pleased to hear from you.  Please send your CV with a covering letter to our UK address.

Age is not a barrier

We are equally delighted to hear from anyone with an interest in sewing or craftwork, experience in a professional capacity is not essential, and full training is given.

Sales, Customer Service and Administration

We have an excellent team, and do not need to advertise regularly for staff in these departments.  Where appropriate, staff from our other departments may be trained and promoted to take on new challenges.  However if you have a special interest we would like to hear from you; please send a covering letter together with your CV or resume.

Administration and Customer Service staff may have to work under pressure as items for weddings are occasionally needed in a hurry, and items must be delivered on time.  We offer hundreds of different designs in many colour ways and sizes, and these are supplied to around two thousand shops across Europe, Scandinavia, America as well as the UK.

Our team of Sales Representatives travel extensively visiting our regular customers, and bringing new designs into bridal shops at home and abroad.  A professional approach is required to represent our respected company.  A love of travelling and driving are essential as this job means being away from home regularly.
