* The ability to operate in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.
* A proactive, hands-on approach and confidence to make quick commercial calls.
* Experience in surplus, clearance, or short-dated stock is a major advantage.
This role would suit an experienced Buyer or Trader who thrives in fast-moving businesses and wants to step into a more autonomous, growth-focused environment.
