One Team, One Vision
Asif, joined in 2014
I started working for the group 7 years ago as a Management Accountant. When I first joined, I worked in a small team of 4 people, which allowed me to work ‘hands on’, focusing on many different tasks. This meant I could broaden my skills and learn new aspects of the business. I was promoted to Financial Controller at the start of 2019, and I now manage a team of 7. My hard working, positive attitude has allowed me to further my own expertise, as well as help support and build the skillset of my own team.
Nasrin, joined 2014
I started as a Trading Assistant in Sales and now lead the Commercial Team. The business has supported me to pursue my ambitions and take on roles that will progress my career. I think it is important to keep asking questions and keep learning as well as maintaining a positive outlook regardless of the hurdles and challenges that you face. My ambition has been recognised and being supported by the group has helped me deliver better outcomes for myself and for my team.
Louis, joined in 2016
I started in the role of Buyer supporting the Trading Manager. I now hold full responsibility for all branded relationships and lead on integrating new brands and categories into the group portfolio. One of the key characteristics needed to succeed in the business is open mindedness and having respect for your colleagues and clients. This means, not only being prepared to take on board the views of both brands and retailers, but also being receptive to new directions that the business takes.
Lauren, joined in 2014
I started as an Apprentice in the Finance department. With the help and support from the business, I completed my apprenticeship and am now part of the Supply Team working as a Supply Chain Analyst. The business looks to support employee’s ambitions, helping them to develop in their careers through training opportunities and additional responsibilities that help grow their confidence. I have adapted over the years, learnt new skills and grown with the company.
Andy, joined in 2016
I joined the group with the goal of creating and running an internal IT services team. Since then, the company has changed shape many times, and the IT team I created continues to provide all areas of the business with the committed service needed to ensure changes occur smoothly and well controlled, regardless of how challenging the task! In return, the company has supported my team with a resource commitment, which has allowed us to move forward with new technologies and implement best practices ensuring we are fit for the future.
Gabby, joined in 2022
I joined PCG as a Sales Analyst and transitioned to working as an Account Executive across multiple accounts. Working within different roles in the sales team has allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of different aspects of the business. Interacting with different people on a daily basis makes my job exciting, and being part of a supportive and friendly team boosts my confidence. I look forward to working on additional accounts over the next few months and aspire to become an Account Manager. My ultimate goal is to become a National Account Manager.
