Merchandising Manager Jobs in Angus
Angus is a sprawling county on the east coast of Scotland, which has traditionally focused mainly on fishing and agriculture for its economy. It borders Aberdeenshire, Dundee City and Perth and Kinross. By far the largest settlement is the town of Arbroath, with a population of about 25,000, about twice the size of the next town. The county town Forfar has a population closer to 10,000, as do Montrose, Monifieth, Carnoustie and Brechin. The A90 and A92 join the county to the rest of eastern Scotland, running from Dundee to Stonehaven and Aberdeen beyond.
Angus is located between two large centres of population, Aberdeen and Dundee, and while these might provide the most fertile ground if you’re looking for Merchandising Manager positions, there could be some opportunities in the larger towns of the county.
