Double celebration for Pentland Group
10/06/2014
The UK-based group estimates family businesses contribute more than 50% of Europe’s private sector activity, and the shortlist included Mango (Spain), Villeroy and Boch (Germany), Campari (Italy) and Faiveley Transport (France).
Pentland was also recognised as one of the Top 25 European Best Workplaces 2014 at the European Great Place to Work Awards in Rome, Italy. It’s the first time Pentland has been named as one of Europe’s Best Workplaces and follows the company’s recent recognition, by the Great Place to Work Institute, as one of Top 10 UK Best Workplaces 2014.
CEO Andy Rubin said: “It’s been a fantastic week for Pentland. Being a great work place is inextricably linked to business success. As a third generation family company we can invest in our people and grow our business with a long-term view. This philosophy, coupled with our values-led approach to business, our unique culture, and great working environment has been fundamental to our success."
Pentland own Berghaus, Canterbury, Speedo, Brasher, Boxfresh, Ellesse, KangaROOS, Mitre, Prostar and Red or Dead and is a licensee for Lacoste Chaussures, Ted Baker and Kickers.
