More than 1,000 apply for 30 jobs at new Merry Hill store
More than 1,000 people applied for just 30 jobs at a new store opening at Merry Hill. The combined Simply Be and Jacamo shop will open at the Brierley Hill centre later this month.
Bosses today revealed they had received an 'overwhelming' number of applications for the positions.
Deputy store manager, Sarah Fisher, said: "The standard of applicants was incredibly high but I'm confident that we've found the right people for the store. We have recruited a great bunch of people from the local community."
The store, part of multi-channel retailer N Brown Group PLC, will provide a selection of men's and women's fashion.
Jacamo offers a range of men's designer labels and own brands, including Jacamo's Flintoff by Jacamo collection, exclusively designed by England cricket legend Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff.
The store will be the 11th dual-facia Simply Be and Jacamo store to open in the UK and is part of N Brown's plans to open four new branches over the next four months.
