Workplace Safari- It’s a jungle out there: explore the best in the business

DATE / TIME: Tuesday, November 12 | 5:30 – 7pm GMT

LOCATION: Arbry House, Unit 6 Piccadilly Trading Estate Manchester M1 2NP

GM Business Growth Hub is delighted to be hosting a ‘Workplace Safari’ at Thomas Kneale & Co in Ancoats.

Thomas Kneale is one of the UK’s largest B2B providers of bedroom and bathroom textiles, with a wide-ranging customer base including blue chip multi-national organisations, private businesses and a number of Government Departments. Witnessing the globalisation of the textile trade, a number of recessions and economic challenges, Thomas Kneale has remained steadfast, adapting and developing throughout.

Responding to the ever-changing business environment, the business kept on investing in different aspects of the company; reducing their carbon footprint and upskilling their workforce. In April 2023, Thomas Kneale became an inaugural recipient of the King’s Award for Enterprise in the Sustainable Development category, awarded to just 15 businesses nationwide.

On the path of evolution, Thomas Kneale has been supported by GM Business Growth Hub. By offering their professional knowledge and business support service, The Hub helped Thomas Kneale overcome different development hurdles.

During this Workplace Safari, we will take a small group of guests to visit Thomas Kneale’s warehouse to learn about their excellent business practices (particularly around manufacturing, decarbonisation, Bee Net Zero, growth, innovation, workforce development, social impact, and health & wellbeing); have a tour of their workplace; and to network with like-minded professionals

Attendees will be expected to make their own way to and from the event and will meet at Arbry House, Unit 6 Piccadilly Trading Estate, Manchester M1 2NP at 5.15pm for a 5.30pm start. (There is plenty of free parking available)

Please note: This event is aimed at those who can affect change within their organisation. Attendance will initially be limited to one person per organisation due to the small group size.
