Crafter’s Companion recruitment drive strengthens Chesterfield team
Global craft supplier, Crafter’s Companion, has added 11 new recruits to its team in the run up to the opening of its store in Chesterfield.
The outlet, at Dobbies Garden Centre in Chesterfield, will be the company’s second store launch in 2016 and officially opens to the public on Friday 23rd September.
As part of the store’s launch, the company held a special recruitment day to find the right candidates to form the retail team.
The day was attended by over 50 people and saw potential candidates take part in a number of tasks designed to help show off their skills.
Now, the company is on the lookout for a further four candidates, which will take the total number of recruits to 15.
Sara Davies, founder of Crafter’s Companion said:-
“We’re absolutely thrilled to be opening our next store in Chesterfield and to be able to bring new jobs to the area.
“Our new team members will be the heart of our new store, so we’ve spent a lot of time making sure we’ve chosen candidates who really understand our brand and our values.
“We’ve really enjoyed welcoming the guys to the Crafter’s Companion family and we’re looking forward to welcoming more team members in the coming months.”
Gurvinder Barn, the new store manager, who brings more than 20 years of retail experience to the team, said:-
“The team are already working really hard to get the store ready for the launch weekend. The new store will bring something unique to the area and we can’t wait for our visitors to see what’s on offer.”
