Who are FRC?

They do this by being a "Social Business" - they generate revenue through sales & contracts to fund their work to end furniture poverty.

FRC are an extremely collaborative organisation, their staff are all bought in to the idea of Ending Furniture Poverty and are always available to help each other reach the common goal, they're a social business but re-invest profits so the more they make the more they can do to end furniture poverty both locally and nationally. They ensure that there is a friendly atmosphere and everyone is approachable, the Directors lead from the front and are always on hand to help.

What are FRC looking for?

FRC are a collaboration between multiple partnering brands. This specific role will be working with FRC Living, working closely with the Business Development Managers in order to maximise the relationships with key clients.

You'll be mainly office based, utilising phone calls, emails and teams calls to build and strengthen relationships with key clients. You'll be regularly checking in with repeat clients to ensure they're happy with the service provided and attempting to maximise opportunities.
