The various functions that come under the umbrella term of 'support' are just as vital to the prosperity and development of the business as those that are more in the front line. After all, without the right people, the right suppliers and the most skilled financial management, there would be no business. Those are the three functions in business support where we're always looking for the best and most ambitious talents.
Human Resources (HR)
What most companies call the Human Resources (HR) department is called the People Team at George because we think it sounds, well, more human. One of their key roles is to champion our culture and make sure the 'colleague experience' is a great one all the way through. They're also responsible for our resourcing strategy to ensure we attract and retain world class talent. And of course they deliver the training & development at every level to make sure everyone is on top of their game and fulfilling their potential.
Sourcing
The Sourcing team scours the globe to find the best suppliers for every kind of garment - best in terms of cost, dependability and ethical standards. They even look at how we freight our products from our supply base into our stores to get the most efficient container loads transported to the UK - maximising cost efficiency and minimising our carbon footprint.
Finance
The Finance team plays a vital role in helping all areas of the business control costs and maximise efficiencies while keeping tight control through sophisticated financial reporting and forecasting. The team works very closely with the Buying, Merchandising, and Retail colleagues as well as Dot Com and Global departments.
