Emma
Emma fell into retail while on a gap year before going to university. Her journey began in the cosmetics industry working on counters in department stores, which progressed to a Business Manager role supporting several accounts and organising events outside of stores. Emma moved to Bicester Village in May 2014 joining a luxury handbag brand as a Store Supervisor. Over a year later she progressed to Assistant Store Manager of a new store opening, returning to the high street. Missing the luxury of Bicester Village, Emma returned to the Village in her current role as Store Manager.
My advice would be to come to Bicester Village as soon as you can – I waited ten years working on the high street. In the Village things happen so quickly that in 18 months I’ve gone from being a supervisor to running my own store!
Scott
Scott has been working in fashion retail for more than eight years, starting as a Merchandiser in Birmingham, progressing into a Sales Assistant role and working his way up to his actual position with Armani at Bicester Village. He started working in the Village in March 2015, having previously worked for prestigious fashion brands in Birmingham, the last of his roles being a Visual Merchandiser for one of the leading brands in the Bullring.
He started as a Sales Assistant in Bicester Village, has been Supervisor in a smaller boutique environment and in one of the Village flagships, and is now a specialised Senior Sales Assistant with the world-famous Italian designer brand.
In his opinion, the difference between working in Bicester Village and working, for example, on the high street is that it’s more enjoyable, it’s like being part of a family, with everyone in the same boat, knowing what’s expected from them, as they work towards the same goal together.
I fell in love with Bicester Village when I was opening a boutique for my brand and decided that this was the place where I wanted to work.
Jarrod
After finishing his studies, Jarrod, encouraged by a friend, started his first retail job in Bicester Village at the age of 19 as a full-time Sales & Stockroom Assistant. Here, he learned the basics of the job. He also discovered that his true strength lay in stock management.
After 15 months he moved to Vivienne Westwood, where he was quickly promoted to a more stock-focused role. Finally, in December 2014, he moved to UGG to become a Key Holder in charge of the stockroom. He is now part of the management team of the boutique.
The last six years in the Village has changed me as a person. I feel like I have changed a lot and people I have worked with have told me that I am a completely different person today, in the way I work with others and my attitude towards work.
