Our buying team recently embarked on a trip to China to meet with some of our amazing suppliers. This trip was particularly special as it was our first buying trip to the Far East since the global pandemic. Eleven team members headed off from London to Beijing and Shanghai all within 12 days. Despite the inevitable jet lag, the trip was very productive and highlighted the importance of meeting our suppliers face-to-face. The journey from the initial design to final product is a long one and can take up 6 months so it was inspiring to see our new winter products on the production line. We saw everything from waterproof jackets and trousers to hiking boots and socks, as well as recycled water bottles and rucksacks being made in real-time. The trip ended with some presentations from new suppliers on innovative ways of developing our products in the future. We can’t wait to get back there! #buyingtrip #retail #retailbuying #outdoorretail #buying #businesstravel #worktrip

We’re excited and proud to announce our partnership with Stella for menopause, which provides personalised menopause support, advice, and care via an app. Almost a quarter of our colleagues are within the typical age range of experiencing menopausal or perimenopausal symptoms and these symptoms can be incredibly difficult to manage whilst at work. Our inclusive menopause policy advocates an open and honest culture where colleagues feel empowered and comfortable to talk about menopause, as well as encouraging our teams to think about adjustments they can make to support their colleagues. “We’re absolutely embracing menopause at Mountain Warehouse. Managing menopause and perimenopause symptoms can be challenging, it’s hugely important that we can talk about it and give support wherever it is needed. Karen Bandoh FCIPD, People Director. “We are delighted to be working in partnership with Stella and to launch our inclusive menopause support policy. We are constantly looking at how we support and empower our colleagues no matter where they are in their life journey.” Marcus Ward, Chief Operating and Financial Officer. #worldmenopauseday #menopause #inclusiveleadership #EDIB
