From fuels and lubricants to specialty chemicals, our products help customers improve efficiency, reliability and sustainability across industries.

The Role

We’re looking for someone organised, proactive, and ready to get stuck in. As our Marketing Assistant, you’ll support the day-to-day running of marketing activities from LinkedIn posts and Mailchimp campaigns to helping organise international trade events. This is a great opportunity to build your skills, work alongside an experienced Marketing Manager, and see how marketing works inside a growing global business.

This role would suit a recent school or college leaver or someone looking for a flexible, part-time position.

What you’ll do

Marketing support

  • Help create and schedule content for LinkedIn and other platforms

  • Assist with Mailchimp emails and monthly campaign reports

  • Keep marketing materials, brochures, and presentations up to date

  • Support the team with admin, research, and content planning

Event coordination

  • Help organise our presence at exhibitions and trade shows

  • Liaise with printers, suppliers, and venues

  • Manage checklists, shipments, and logistics

  • Pack, prep and support on the day (you might even travel with us)

General admin & team support

  • Organise image libraries, folders and shared drives

  • Update lists, databases, and calendars

  • Take notes in team meetings and help keep things on track

What we’re looking for

You don’t need years of experience, we’ll show you the ropes. But we do need someone who’s:

  • Organised and good at multitasking

  • A clear communicator with good writing skills

  • Confident using Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel)

  • Keen to learn and happy to pitch in

  • Interested in marketing, events, or communications

Experience with social media, Canva, Mailchimp or WordPress is a bonus, but not a dealbreaker.

What you’ll get

  • A friendly, fast-moving team that backs each other

  • Training and support to help you grow

  • The chance to get hands-on experience in all areas of marketing

  • Competitive pay and flexible hours (for part-time roles)

  • Occasional travel to UK and international events
