A YEAR OF GROWTH, SUCCESS, AND EXPANSION

The report states that total group sales are up 24% from 2018, a total of £1,140m, demonstrating that THG as a whole is on the rise. However, our International sales demonstrate that much of this growth is occurring outside the UK now account for 66% of sales.

PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE

Additionally, the report confirms plans for new financing facilities of €1bn as a major investment in Beauty, Nutrition, Technology, and Infrastructure. This investment allows us to explore new data regions to add to our data center global footprint. It also lets us continue to invest in our infrastructure and network hardware. Our commitment to our clients includes constantly evolving to include the most up-to-date equipment possible to invest in your continued innovation and growth.

THG TAKES FLIGHT

In addition to the purchase of two prestigious properties, THG recently exchanged contracts with Airport City Manchester to create a new global headquarters campus called ‘THQ’. This new facility is located adjacent to the UK’’s third largest airport. The first phase construction will total 288,000 square feet with plans to expand to 1 million square feet.

THG’s recent partnership with Singapore Air allows us to focus on international growth. Currently, our global footprint includes trading in more than 40 currencies. We support more than 50 payment options in 169 countries.

PUTTING PEOPLE FIRST

2019 saw the creation of more than 1,500 new jobs within THG. This addition expands our total workforce to more than 7,000 employees. What’s more, is that our planned construction allows for the hire of 10,000 more in the near future. According to the report, we “created more than 500 new positions across its manufacturing and distribution sites with a particular focus on applicants in the North West who had lost their jobs as a result of the economic pressures surrounding the Covid-19 outbreak.”

The report states, “Over 20% of THG’s share capital has been awarded to employees since the Group was founded, demonstrating THG’s commitment to people and staff sharing in the value they help to generate; and increased capital investment across Technology & Infrastructure projects, including Manufacturing, Logistics, and Offices — totaling more than £1bn since 2016.”
