What's it really like working at Bert & Buoy? Natalie from our Store team give us the lowdown on the daily buzz at our indie Dartmouth store:

"Working at Bert & Buoy is never dull! Each day differs with new and exciting tasks that keep me busy, whether that’s blogging, working through online orders, store presentation, or, (and most importantly!), meeting and helping our lovely customers. Working for an independent brand, within a small team, has so many benefits, especially here at Bert & Buoy.

It is like being part of a little family where you are listened to, respected and where your happiness is a top priority! What’s also great about working at Bert & Buoy is being able to utilise my skills. With a background in writing, I was given the opportunity to start blogging whilst also having the creative freedom to write on products and topics I choose – my ideas are always welcomed! Did I mention that I also model for Bert & Buoy as well, it’s so great to be part of the brand's image!

If you are looking for a role where you can grow, have fun and are always kept busy then Bert & Buoy is the perfect place. To be part of Bert & Buoy’s journey, to watch it grow and expand, to see new products come to fruition and to meet such skilled, home-grown talent is a joy and I ALWAYS look forward to coming to work.

It’s such an added bonus that I get to work with products that I love, from the luxurious quality to the vibrant, stunning colours and designs – it’s like being a kid in a candy store! If I had to pick a few of my favourite items? Hm, well, the throws would have to take the top spot. They really do make you go ooh and ahh with their super soft, snuggly splendour and their fun, geometric patterns. Another favourite item of mine would be the new Petite Puffin range, particularly the large Puffin cushions we have just launched! They are truly adorable. Oh, and I can’t forget to mention the Dartmouth Houses and So Shrimp ranges… I’m a bit pink mad, hehe."
