After speaking to Craig today I am now aware that I will be spending my first week based in the Ealing store. Apparantly the Manageress there is a good well rounded Manager who can keep herself free for the daily running of the store to work more closely with me in my first week. Apparantly in some of the smaller branches this is unusual. Ealing has just had a £300k refit giving it a significant increase in results and making it a Flagship store.
I will spend my first day in Birmingham meeting people, dealing with any paperwork that needs completing and collecting my company car etc. Craig will spend some time with me on day one going through my induction pack and answering any questions I may have.
I will also receive a Manager Induction pack to take to Ealing so that I can pick and choose the elements I want to learn about whilst I am there.
I will also be spending some time working with one of the Area Managers from the Northern Region who is apparantly very structured and knowledgeable and who knows the business inside and out as she has worked through stores all the way up to an AM level. I will also spend some time with another AM from the South who has been with the company less time but has held various Field Manager posts for other similar sized retailers. She apparantly is very innovative and motivational and performs well.
I have been told that normal business dress is suit including shirt and tie unless otherwise briefed.
Craig will contact me next week to confirm exactly what the start details are for my first week.
