Website Manager

Worcester & Cheltenham, UK

Fixed Term Contract - 12 months Maternity Cover

Our story began during a road trip in the 1990s, where our founders, Will and Andy, travelled across America collecting vintage items while living out of motels. They started purchasing vintage clothing in the USA and selling it wholesale, which eventually led to the creation of stores. From there, they began designing reworked vintage pieces, and thus, Motel was born.

Over 30 years and a team of 200+ people later, every piece of clothing we make is created with the same spirit of fun, freedom and adventure as the road trip that first defined the brand. We're still ambitious and independent, but now we're a global team - we work from an operational base in Worcester, a design studio in London and a creative studio in Bali.
