Do you love small businesses to the point of obsession? Do you believe they make our high streets richer and communities happier? Want to make sure UK independents don’t disappear? Then join us. We support them in and outside of work, and champion what they stand for — working flexibly, making by hand and balancing profit with principles for a better world. What else are we looking for? Scroll across.

At Holly & Co, we’re the kind of people who don’t expect others to figure everything out for us — whether that’s taking responsibility for our own development or making decisions to benefit the business. We love go-getters; those who find and share opportunities, work under their own steam and who won’t stop until they’ve got an answer. Because being entrepreneurial is in our blood.

Roll up your sleeves, we’re going in. We’d never ask you to do something we wouldn’t do ourselves but our team isn’t made up of those who like to watch from the sidelines. We love proactive people who aren’t afraid of getting their hands dirty, because we never let others clean up a mess we’ve made ourselves (and even if it wasn’t our mess, we put our marigolds on and we make it good). Sound like you?

Changing the world takes an optimistic outlook, honesty and kindness. It’s why we always strive to start conversations not fires, believe in PPI (presuming positive intent) and favour community over competition (always ‘we’ not ‘I’). It’s about coming from a place of positivity and being radiators not drains. So even if we sometimes get things wrong (which we do), we see failure as feedback and try again.

For us, being thoughtful is just about one of the greatest things you can be. If you’re able to put yourself in the shoes of others, and go out of your way to anticipate needs, look out for those around you and be generous with your time, heart and spirit — you’re likely to be one of us. Thoughtfulness can overcome CV gaps, inexperience and more so don’t be afraid to let this shine through.

Not everyone likes to roll with it. In fact, sudden change can really freak some people out… but we are not those people. We welcome it rather than fearing it because we know that change brings progress. Plus it’s exciting. We would rather regret things we’ve done than things we haven’t, and pivoting is part of that. So if you can act smart, move fast and help turn negatives into positives, get in touch.

At Holly & Co, we love to use innovation and creativity to inspire magic, encourage dreams and ignite imaginations. It doesn’t mean you need to have been born with a paintbrush in your hand and sport bright green hair though (although some of our team definitely fit that description). It’s about thinking outside the box and not being afraid to try something new. Sound like you?

We believe that skills, passion and potential often speak louder than qualifications. While having relevant experience is important (and sometimes required), we are most interested in finding someone who is enthusiastic, motivated and aligned with our values. If you're confident in your abilities and can showcase your talents in a relevant way, we encourage you to apply, regardless of your formal credentials.
