Head of Retail Events Popup Event Retail

This role is responsible for leading Uggly & Co’s retail events across the UK & Ireland. It suits a hands-on, self-driven operator who can plan, organise, and deliver events from start to finish, while leading teams and continuously improving how things are done.

You’ll be heavily involved in the full process — from booking and planning, through to packing, travelling, setting up, and running events on the ground. Summer is the peak season, so expect regular travel and weekend work.

At its core, this role is about being a problem solver — someone who can adapt quickly, handle pressure, and keep things running smoothly no matter what comes your way.

• Manage event payments, confirmations, and pitch agreements
• Plan staffing and build a reliable network of event retail staff

• Ensure all retail systems (tills, iPads, POS) are fully functional
• Identify new opportunities (motocross, road racing, festivals, shopping centres, collaborations, retail spaces)
• Review event performance and scale what works

Winter Focus (November – March)

The off-season shifts focus to indoor retail (e.g. Westfield locations) and preparing for the summer ahead.

This includes:

• Developing new POS and retail materials
• Securing and negotiating future events
• Improving payment terms and reducing costs (travel, ferries, etc.)
• Reviewing and optimising past event performance

• Supporting recruitment and planning for the upcoming season

Retail Growth & Partnerships

• Drive sales through improved retail setup, presentation, and strategy
• Build and maintain strong relationships with event organisers and partners

• Manage transport logistics (trailers, vans) and coordinate additional staff where required

Inventory & Warehouse Coordination

• Carry out detailed stock checks on key products
• Ensure Shopify stock aligns with physical inventory
• Work closely with warehouse teams on event prep, product launches, and bestsellers

• Recruit and retain a strong pool of retail staff
• Lead by example at events and maintain high standards

Key Expectations

• Self-motivated and highly organised
• Comfortable taking full ownership of events end-to-end
• Strong leadership and communication skills
• Able to manage multiple events and moving parts
• Proactive mindset with a focus on constant improvement
• A strong, professional presence representing the brand at all times

The Reality of the Role
