Caring for Our Communities in Action 💙 We're incredibly proud of our Manchester and Trafford colleagues, who continue to support Manchester Central Foodbank through regular community food drives. Over the last 11 months, their time, energy and commitment have helped collect over 3,000kg of food, providing the equivalent of 4,000 meals for local people and families in need. Our latest collection was another fantastic example of what can be achieved when great people come together. A huge thank you to the team at Manchester Central Foodbank, our colleagues Lorraine Jones, Francesca Glynn, Pamela Binns, and our partners at Tesco Gorton, particularly Helen Harrison and Liz Moore, for their support. While the impact can be measured in meals and donations, it's also about the kindness, generosity and community spirit shown every step of the way. Thank you to everyone involved for helping us continue to care for our communities. #CaringForOurCommunities #WatchesOfSwitzerlandGroup #CommunityImpact #Volunteering #ManchesterCentralFoodbank #GivingBack

Meet James 👋 After 15 years in retail leadership, James joined our Retail Management Apprenticeship Programme with a simple goal: to invest in his own development for the first time. Having always focused on supporting the growth of others, the programme gave him the opportunity to strengthen his commercial and leadership skills, broaden his understanding of the wider business and build relationships across both our Retail and Support teams. What stands out most from James' story is his belief that great leaders never stop learning. From tackling challenging projects and presentations to developing the confidence to see himself as a business leader, the experience has helped shape the next chapter of his career. James is also the first to recognise the role others have played in his success, giving special thanks to his Showroom Director, Lylia, whose encouragement, support and belief in his potential helped him make the most of every opportunity. Thank you for sharing your journey, James. Congratulations on completing your apprenticeship and we can't wait to see where your leadership journey takes you next. 🎓✨ #WatchesOfSwitzerlandGroup #Apprenticeships #LeadershipDevelopment #CareerGrowth #RetailCareers #GoldsmithsChelmsford
