An open recruitment event is to be hosted by Holland &
Barrett at The Jury's Inn hotel in Birmingham on Thursday 6 October
from 11am to 8pm.
The high street health experts are looking to recruit into a
number of roles to be based at the company's Head Office in
Nuneaton, which is close to junction 3 on the M6. People interested
in hearing more about the online, marketing and buying vacancies
within the business are welcome to drop by at the event to find out
more and meet key members of the Holland & Barrett team.
Holland & Barrett has expanded considerably over the past
few years following the acquisition of Julian Graves, the growth in
online sales and the launch of a new loyalty programme which has
seen significant investment. In addition the company, which is
owned by NBTY Europe, has in the past year seen a corporate
investment of over £20 million with the opening of a new
purpose built Head Office at Nuneaton and warehouse, distribution
and packing site in Burton upon Trent.
Phil Geary, NBTY Europe's Group Director of Marketing, said: "In
the current time of economic doom and gloom, we really are bucking
the trend. Holland & Barrett is going from strength to strength
and this is reflected in our need to recruit professional people
into a number of roles, many of which are newly created to meet the
needs of our rapidly growing business.
"Our online offering has undergone extensive development over
the past few months and this is one of the areas that we are
looking to further develop to ensure we are maximising sales
opportunities and meeting customer's demands efficiently.
"In addition the buying department is a very exciting place to
be at the moment with new facilities on offer to us at our Burton
site enabling us to develop new commercially viable products and we
look forward to welcoming tenacious and talented individuals on
board to grow categories we have on offer."
Last year alone, NBTY Europe posted sales in excess of
£400 million and opened more than 80 new stores. The store
opening programme has continued into 2011 with a new flagship store
- Holland & Barrett's 700th* - due to be opened on October 11
in Richmond, London.
Those who cannot attend but still wish to find out more should

Day.
