The Hut Group to create 500 jobs in north west
Health and beauty retailer The Hut Group is to create 500 new permanent jobs across its business in the north west of England in the run-up to Christmas.
The group will be recruiting for a variety of roles, although most will be in its THG Ingenuity technology division.
Matthew Moulding, founder, chief executive and chairman of THG, said: “It is an uncertain time for many people and businesses alike. This uncertainty has led to an unprecedented opportunity for THG to add to our exceptionally talented workforce. With our busiest trading period of the year approaching, we are excited to welcome 500 new starters ahead of Christmas.
“Our headquarters are in Manchester, and this recruitment drive will create sustainable and rewarding jobs for people across the North West, and will provide opportunities for all ages, backgrounds and abilities. There has never been a greater or more important time to invest in the people of Greater Manchester and the surrounding area.”
THG is also working with local partners to launch an in-house Skills Academy which will retrain people who are out of work as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The group currently employs more than 8,000 people across across its offices and fulfilment centres following the creation of 2,000 new jobs over the last 12 months.
