Solv Talent is retained by a high-growth, premium consumer brand as it looks to appoint a Head of Acquisitions to help shape the next phase of its property expansion.
This is a rare opportunity to join an upmarket business with an established national retail footprint and a highly recognisable brand, now entering a significant period of growth across the UK.
