Are you passionate about providing an exceptional customer centric service, tailored to each individual’s needs? Providing our customers with a trusted brand as well as the highest quality paint and sundry products is just the start. We are looking for individuals that not only have a passion for our brand, but for the socially responsible activities and initiatives that Crown Paints actively engage in.

As a Sales Assistant/Driver you will work alongside the store team, collaboratively supporting our Store Manager, in delivering a sustainable and profitable sales growth for Crown Paints.

A key part of your role will be to identify potential new customers, establish positive relationships and open customer accounts regularly.

Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for individuals who possess strong sales experience, ideally within a retail background, evidencing excellent customer service and competence in the delivery of sales targets. A current driving licence and the ability to drive is essential, as the store coordinates a daily delivery service for customers.

At Crown Paints, as part of our journey to excellence we always recruit based on four values that unite us all; Connecting to customers, Constantly challenging, Socially committed, Inspiring confidence. To a large extent our values describe the way we already are, but there is also an element of aspiration… expressing the way we want to be.

  • The opportunity to earn up to a 25% performance bonus each quarter
