Job stuff

First of all, not sure this is in the right area, so if it's not I apologise.

Basically, I want help. I'm currently working as a garden centre manager for a home and leisure company, and I want to start working for a company that actually cares about plants.

So.....

If anybody hears of any garden centre or nursery jobs going, could you please let me know?

I can relocate, so pretty much anywhere's fine.

ta all

 

Del, these people are very good. www.horticruitment.co.uk :thumb:

 

Hi both, thanks for the sites. Tried both, and bloominggoodjobs too, think i've applied to every one advertised, not that I'm desperate or anything

 

I worked in a garden centre for 12 years Del, who are you working for? The Range?

 

How did you guess?

 

When Fletchers closed I had a chance of working for them, no thanks. The same with Wyevale.

 

hehehe, well, now you understand my desperation for a new job

 

So, what are you good at?

 

got the usual retail/customer service/management experience. Also some basic Horticultural qualifications (C&G tree n shrubs, veg growing, and sitting the RHS general next week)

I'm a manager, so wouldn't say i was good at much, just love working with plants, and learning about them.

 

Me too, I was plant manager for 7 years, pretty good if I do say so myself. Got a long standing job offer from a Cornish GC to set up a self contained nursery, but the housing situation down there prevents it for now.

 

swanseadel, although not in the same line of business i can really understand your wanting to work for a company that cares. well done on you. It's not often you find people that do care these days, no matter what business, so I hope you find something that keeps you happy (and therefore your employers) & interested for many years. do let us know how you get on.

cheers
