What would you say to someone thinking of applying for a role at Leekes?

“Go for it.”

Why did you choose to work for Leekes?

I chose to work in Leekes because as a customer I always felt it had friendly staff.

What aspect of your role do you enjoy the most?

I enjoy guiding and advising customers who do not know what they are looking for and finding them the perfect product. Working with customers through to installation is incredibly rewarding – knowing the customer is loving their new carpet and hearing about the difference it makes to their home .

How do you think working at Leekes has developed your career?

I started off in Leekes on the carpet department, with no knowledge of flooring. With some training and guidance, I became the number one sales person in carpets in the entire retail group.
