A RECRUITMENT event will take place at Cheshire Oaks as existing and new stores look to fill "a variety of roles".

It comes as the popular designer outlet – the largest of its kind in the UK – forges ahead with its £40 million expansion plans.

Owned by McArthur Glen, it is already said to be the leading employer in Ellesmere Port with more than 2,500 workers.

Bosses say the jobs event on Thursday, September 27, "invites friendly, customer focused individuals to meet with the store teams in a 'speed dating' format".

Brands recruiting include All Saints, Kurt Geiger, Under Armour, Dune, Nike and French Connection as well as food and beverage establishments such as Wagamama, Pizza Express and McDonalds.

Kenny Murray, Centre Manager at Cheshire Oaks, said: "Cheshire Oaks is a great place to work, as well as to shop. Customer service is at the forefront of everything we do; we are looking for passionate individuals with knowledge of designer labels to join our outstanding team."

Open from 10am until 7.30pm, the recruitment event will be taking place in the recruitment lounge, located in car park A, opposite Nike.

Guests can register their interest in the day by emailing careers.cheshireoaks@mcarthurglen.com with their details and the type of brand, role and hours they are seeking.

Cheshire Oaks is home to more than 145 high street, premium and designer brands.
