We might be turning 20 soon, but we’re about to have a growth spurt

It’s certainly been a busy year here at Retail Assist. Having received private equity investment from Foresight Group in 2017 and with nine new clients having joined within the last 12 months, it’s never been a more exciting time to work within our company.

However, following so many new clients on-boarding, we need additional resources to support our company’s significant growth.

Fancy working in a fast-paced, exciting environment? Here are just a few of the many varied careers on offer within Retail Assist.
