John Molloy
Position: General Store Manager - St Helens
I joined TJ Hughes in November 1998 as a part-time Sales Assistant in the St Helens store whilst studying at college. I had no previous retail experience, but quickly adapted to the TJ Hughes style of business. Within 18 months I was promoted to Sales Manager at the Birkenhead store. Following two years' experience in Birkenhead, where I was responsible for the basement floor, I moved to Widnes and within 12 months had been promoted to Senior Sales Manager. My team and I thrived on meeting sales targets, and these achievements were rewarded with a promotion back to the St Helens store as Operations Manager, before returning to Widnes in 2009 as Deputy Manager. Towards the end of 2009, I was promoted to General Manager of the St Helens store, returning back to the store I had originally started my TJ Hughes career in.
TJ Hughes has given me both excellent training and the opportunity to work with some of the finest retailers in the business. I enjoy the fast pace, the extensive range of products we sell and the knowledge that I have contributed to the success of the Company. TJ Hughes will adapt and react to any external elements affecting trade. This is a major factor in the company's success. TJ Hughes would be a fantastic opportunity for any motivated individual wanting to succeed in a fast-moving trading environment.
