Newgate is a busy design-led business based in Oswestry, specialising in clocks and eyewear. We sell directly to customers through our own websites and Amazon, and we also supply a broad range of trade customers in the UK and internationally.
Everything happens under one roof, from design to e-commerce and logistics. Our team is close-knit, collaborative, and fully based onsite, so things move quickly and ideas are shared easily.
We’re a growing business working across clocks and eyewear, with a strong mix of direct customers, trade accounts, and online sales through platforms like Amazon. We’re looking for someone reliable, organised, and adaptable to join our small office team and help keep everything running smoothly.
This is a hands-on, varied role. One day you might be updating product listings or helping manage our Amazon account, the next you could be dealing with trade orders, answering customer emails, or helping process stock in and out. There’s also a fair bit of data work involved, so you’ll need to be comfortable working with spreadsheets, handling product info, pricing, reports, and stock numbers. Accuracy matters, and spotting mistakes before they become problems is a big part of the job.
You don’t need to know everything on day one, but you do need to be sharp, proactive, and someone who takes pride in doing a job properly. We’re looking for someone who’s happy to roll their sleeves up, keep things moving, and get properly stuck into the details.
There’s room to grow with this role and plenty to get involved in if you’re the kind of person who doesn’t like sitting idle. If you’ve got experience with online selling, customer service, handling data, or just a general knack for getting things done — even better.
There’s onsite parking, 28 days holiday including bank holidays, and we offer a holiday loyalty scheme that rewards long service. Salary will reflect your skills, experience, and what you bring to the role.
The role is based at our HQ in Oswestry, operating between 08:30 and 17:00, Monday to Friday. We’re open to both full-time and part-time applicants. Start date will be as soon as we find the right candidate for the role.
