The Company
VeloBrands Ltd is a 10 year old distributor and brand owner/manager of premium cycling parts and accessory brands, including Chapeau! Juice Lubes, KASK and Supacaz amongst others. We manufacture products and import from all over the world, supplying trade and end consumers internationally. Our existing team is highly motivated, and everyone enjoys a large amount of trust and autonomy in their role. We employ people who are able to self-manage – and trust them to do what is expected, not needing micro-management. We will reward accordingly, and support each individual’s personal development needs and ambitions.
The role is hopefully self-explanatory, and encompasses the duties you would expect for such a position, including the general requirement to be a team player and lend a hand wherever needed. We aren’t corporate and rigid – as long as what needs to be done gets done on time and to a high standard and works with the whole team, we will be quite flexible on how you get there.
For the right candidate who is willing to take responsibility and demonstrate their ability to deliver, the role can grow into something more senior as the business grows.
