Browns Timber Buildings, a leading provider of bespoke garden structures, is currently hiring a Sales/Admin Assistant to join its team in Bolton. This part-time role offers 18 hours per week, including Fridays and Saturday mornings, and is perfect for a confident, organised individual with a passion for delivering excellent customer service.
The ideal candidate will be a strong communicator with a professional telephone manner and excellent organisational skills. While previous sales experience is preferred, it’s not essential—what matters most is a genuine passion for selling and an eye for detail in administrative support.
This is a great opportunity to be part of a friendly, growing business known for its quality timber buildings and commitment to customer satisfaction.
About the Company
Browns Garden Buildings was founded on 24th July 2013 by co-owners Chris and Sue Brown. After 18 years of running the family’s concrete garage business, the founders decided to bring the design principles and concepts of the sectional concrete building industry into the world of timber garden buildings.
In October 2017, the company relocated to its current workshop behind the Beehive Garage in Horwich. This move enabled Browns Garden Buildings to expand and enhance its product range, introducing modern and contemporary designs to its bespoke garden buildings.
Driven by the rising demand for home-based workspaces and the growing appeal of personalised outdoor spaces, the business has continued to grow. A strategic partnership with The Green House People, who operate 36 show sites across the UK—including at Dobbies Garden Centres—has further strengthened the brand’s presence in the garden building market.
In October 2021, Browns Garden Buildings was acquired by Winch & Co, a Leeds-based investment firm specialising in industry and manufacturing, marking a new chapter in the company’s evolution. With confidence in its craftsmanship and a commitment to exceeding expectations, Browns Garden Buildings remains a trusted name in bespoke garden structures.
