How did you get your role at McArthurGlen?
About 3 years ago now, I attended a McArthurGlen job dating event. During this event I met several retailers. The first ones were already selected in direct relation to my wishes and skills. I moved to Roosendaal and start working in DOC Roosendaal due to the greater career opportunities and giving me the opportunity to find a balance between my family life and my professional life. I made the right decision because today I am fulfilled and proud to work for the centre and my city.

What training have you had for this position?

I was freshly hired with a permanent contract by my brand of choice. I was offered to join several courses and trainings of the Retail Academy within DOC Roosendaal to train my skillset and be prepared for my new job challenge. I do not regret my decision. If it was to do this again, I will not hesitate. I am grateful to them for following up and accompanying me into my new career.

Here's Wilson's McArthurGlen Story

Wilson - Deputy Store Manager

How did you get a job at McArthurGlen?

I was working at a competitor as a Deputy Director of an American denim brand in Eindhoven area. My plan was to live closer to my family who lived in the Roosendaal area. I started prospecting around McArthurGlen, located in Roosendaal. It turns out that a position of Assistant director was to be filled within a prestigious Italian brand, which had already given me a chance at the beginning of my career. The optimal conditions were there so I jumped at the chance.

What training have you had for this position?

I seize opportunity to evolve. Indeed, a big American denim brand contacted me and offered me a new challenge, to become Deputy Director and participate in the opening of this shop. Having not taken a post-bac school course, I believe in field experience and I advocate for it. Being motivated, dedicated, curious, dynamic and strong of proposal are qualities that I put forward when I am looking for a collaborator. Since my arrival at McArthurGlen DOC Roosendaal, I have attended all the "managers" training that the retail team is setting up. Modules are offered free of charge and prove to be very rewarding. In several formats and timings, the DOC Roosendaal McArthurGlen Academy is providing us with these trainings.

Tell us a bit more about the role...

The Deputy Store Manager is the Store Director's right hand. It is a key position of a shop because they are the link between the team and the manager. Being close to my team, I spend most of my time on the shop floor ensuring sales, coaching, challenging and motivating sales assistants. I believe the assistant director must bring new ideas and solutions to keep the team alive and lively.

What makes working at McArthurGlen special?

McArthurGlen Roosendaal's retail team, thanks to their experience, brings a real support in our activities. They accompany us, both on a commercial level within our shop and on a marketing level in order to boost sales.

Christopher - Stockroom Manager

How did you get your role at McArthurGlen?
I had been in a previous role for 6 months at a DIY store prior to joining, but visiting the centre as a customer, two brands partners had always made me dream to work for. I gave them a CV and a week later, I started working as a sales associate for one of the brand partners.

What training have you had for this position?
When I joined, I didn't have any proper sales training. I was mentored by my managers to develop my KPI and results. With the brand partner, we have an E-learning program which teaches us the history of the brand, the technical side of the products and materials. For the most part I am self-taught, and I constantly feed on the experience of my managers.

Tell us a bit more about the role...
Since 2017, I went from sales associate to team leader in only 6 months. I’m in charge of the KPIs, planning, the cash register, the opening and closing of the store. Since 2019, I have been responsible for the stockroom and Visual Merchandising. I have a team of two stockists and one VM. I'm in charge of the store's restocking and of the visual look of the it. In the outlet business, stock is everything.

What makes working at McArthurGlen special?
The relationship with the management of the centre is the most important thing. We need to know the different timelines of sales, marketing campaigns and events but my relationship with McArthurGlen is important, especially on the back-end side. We have carriers that do not always respect delivery commitments, schedules or even quantity, but thanks to the exceptional relationship I have with McArthurGlen, problems are quickly solved.
Leading a successful team in a busy restaurant environment. Driving standards across every aspect of the business which in turn increases sales and enhances great customer service. Time management and multitasking are some of the most important traits to a successful restaurant manager.
