Keeping Widnes Market Moving

Cassia, the Markets Officer at Widnes Market, gives an inside look at what her day‑to‑day role involves and how she helps keep the market running smoothly.

As the Markets Officer for Widnes Market, I’m responsible for ensuring that everything runs smoothly, from the bustle of our outdoor stalls to the weekly flea market and the vibrant special events that bring our community together. Some of my daily duties include:

• Oversee the smooth operation of markets, including outdoor markets, weekly flea markets, and special events.
• Manage essential administration, including legal documentation such as tenancy-at-will agreements and trader setup forms.
• Build strong relationships with traders, tenants, and local businesses to ensure excellent communication and support.
• Network with community groups and businesses to boost footfall and engagement.
• Liaise with contractors and supervise maintenance works to keep our markets in top condition.
• Handle office management tasks and provide on-site support during market days.

Working as a Markets Officer means wearing many hats, but at the heart of it all is a genuine passion for helping Widnes Market thrive. It’s a role rooted in community, connection, and continuous improvement and that’s what makes it so rewarding.
