Founded in 1989, our client brings high end, unique and elegant window dressing solutions to the most challenging of projects. From traditional and luxurious designs to bold, contemporary looks, they enhance every window to realise their client's vision. Our client is a Berkshire based curtain and blind design studio specialising in delivering innovative and luxurious window dressing projects with a keen eye for detail. They work with private clients and interior designers across Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Surrey, Oxford and London. For all clients they ensure that every design is individually tailored to deliver beautiful and creative window dressing. THE ROLE: This is the engine-room position in the business. You'll be responsible for the full manufacturing workflow - from the moment an order is placed to the moment the fitter steps through a client's front door. That means ordering fabrics, hardware, linings and components; managing supplier relationships; tracking deliveries; coordinating the fitter's diary across a rolling 12-week schedule; and making sure every single moving part lands in the right place at the right time. No two days are the same. The detail is relentless. And when something goes wrong - and occasionally it will - you'll already be three steps ahead of it! WHAT YOULL ACTUALLY DO: - Own the end-to-end production pipeline - ordering, tracking, chasing and confirming every component for every live order. - Manage our fitter's schedule across a 12-week rolling horizon, juggling lead times, installations and client requirements. - Hold suppliers to account on quality, accuracy and timing - picking up the phone and resolving problems proactively. - Maintain meticulous records of what's been ordered, what's arrived, what's outstanding and what's at risk. - Keep the studio clean, presentable and well-stocked (supplies, hand towels, teabags the details matter here too). - Join the team rota for physically checking, dressing and ironing curtains and blinds before installation. - Grow with us as they expand - and help build better systems as they go. WHO WERE LOOKING FOR: You might have worked as a studio manager, production co-ordinator, credit controller, construction administrator, or office manager. The specific background matters less than the mindset. Tenacious - You chase. You follow up. You don't let things fall through the cracks. Phone-First - A phone call is your instinct when something needs resolving - not a last resort. Solutions Oriented - Problems don't phase you. You're already thinking about the fix. Energised Under Pressure - You thrive when it's busy. Stress sharpens rather than stops you. Adaptable - Happy to iron a blind or make a supplier call - often on the same morning. Warm & amp; Upbeat - You add to the energy of a small team. People like dealing with you.

No two days are the same. The detail is relentless. And when something goes wrong - and occasionally it will - you'll already be three steps ahead of it! WHAT YOULL ACTUALLY DO: - Own the end-to-end production pipeline - ordering, tracking, chasing and confirming every component for every live order. - Manage our fitter's schedule across a 12-week rolling horizon, juggling lead times, installations and client requirements. - Hold suppliers to account on quality, accuracy and timing - picking up the phone and resolving problems proactively. - Maintain meticulous records of what's been ordered, what's arrived, what's outstanding and what's at risk. - Keep the studio clean, presentable and well-stocked (supplies, hand towels, teabags the details matter here too). - Join the team rota for physically checking, dressing and ironing curtains and blinds before installation. - Grow with us as they expand - and help build better systems as they go. WHO WERE LOOKING FOR: You might have worked as a studio manager, production co-ordinator, credit controller, construction administrator, or office manager. The specific background matters less than the mindset. Tenacious - You chase. You follow up. You don't let things fall through the cracks. Phone-First - A phone call is your instinct when something needs resolving - not a last resort. Solutions Oriented - Problems don't phase you. You're already thinking about the fix. Energised Under Pressure - You thrive when it's busy. Stress sharpens rather than stops you. Adaptable - Happy to iron a blind or make a supplier call - often on the same morning. Warm & amp; Upbeat - You add to the energy of a small team. People like dealing with you.

A rare opportunity to lead one of Britain's most significant historic estates - Hestercombe Garden Trust Hestercombe is one of the South West's most significant historic landscapes, combining nationally important gardens, heritage buildings, and a vibrant programme of cultural and community activity. Set within a unique valley landscape, the estate brings together over 300 years of garden design, including the celebrated collaboration between Sir Edwin Lutyens and Gertrude Jekyll, alongside earlier Georgian and later Victorian influences. Today, Hestercombe operates as an independent charitable trust with a mission to conserve, restore and share this remarkable place for public benefit. In February 2024, Hestercombe was awarded Full National Museum Accreditation, recognising the quality and importance of its collections, interpretation, and public offer.

A rare opportunity to be a key part of one of Britain's most significant historic estates - Hestercombe Garden Trust Hestercombe is one of the South West's most significant historic landscapes, combining nationally important gardens, heritage buildings, and a vibrant programme of cultural and community activity. Set within a unique valley landscape, the estate brings together over 300 years of garden design, including the celebrated collaboration between Sir Edwin Lutyens and Gertrude Jekyll, alongside earlier Georgian and later Victorian influences.
