Drake Circus launches search for Chief Fun Officer

Drake Circus and The Barcode is on the hunt for its first ever CFO – and it’s not Chief Finance Officer but a Chief Fun Officer!                           

The lucky young recruit will bag their dream role, with the opportunity to try out the wealth of retailers and experiences at the centre for free, indulging in tasty treats and bagging plenty of goodies all in exchange for their review.

The new CFO will spend a big day out at the centre testing the latest toys at The Entertainer, exploring the scented treats at Lush, tasting the latest flavours at Bubble CiTea and so much more, with Drake Circus’ newest and littlest recruit rating their experience to make sure the centre is fit for a fun-filled rest of the year.   

What’s more, the CFO will also get the chance to visit the centre’s exciting leisure venues, including a behind the scenes experience at Cineworld and a tee-rific 18 holes at Paradise Island Adventure Golf, with food and drink included.

The ideal candidate for the role will be a fun-loving adventurer who loves trying new experiences and must be aged between four and twelve.  

To apply for the opportunity of a lifetime, youngsters should ask their parent or guardian to email drakecircusCFO@citypress.co.uk with their name, age and why they’d be the perfect candidate, by Tuesday 17th September.

Greg Lumley, centre director at Drake Circus and The Barcode, said: “At Drake Circus, we’re constantly working to improve the experience of our visitors, and launching the quest for our new CFO does just that, helping one lucky family to make unforgettable memories!

“Whether you’re shopping for your new wardrobe, sampling the latest menus or catching the biggest new blockbuster, Drake Circus and The Barcode is the perfect place to enjoy a family day out, and our CFO’s suggestions will help us to make sure we’re giving visitors the best possible experience.

“This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a child to become our new Chief Fun Officer will be the ultimate test to see how we shape up, and we can’t wait to welcome the lucky recruit to the centre!”
