Assistant Store Manager - Belfast Belfast, Northern Ireland
Job description
WE MAKE WORLD CLASS HOODIES FOR THE WORLD’S MOST CONNECTED COMMUNITY. We’re here to Make Life Richer, and that starts with our team.
Gym+Coffee kicked off in 2017 with three lads and one big idea: to spark a community of people committed to doing awesome things, with an incredible crew in unbelievable hoodies. Why hoodies? Because there’s nothing you can’t do in them.
Everything centres on Community at G+C. No lip service, no retrofitting, no marketing ploy. That’s where it started, that’s where it’s going and that’s why it'll never end. We partner locally + globally. We support grassroots groups and we absolutely punch above our partnership weight. We look after our team members and we nurture and (aggressively) protect an inclusive, optimistic, relentless + super sound culture.
Our community is centred on people and people need this planet. So, sustainable care + action is at our core too. We’re certified carbon neutral and we’re taking care to care intensely. And consistently.
Forget about age, gender, ethnicity, geography. Think about value, attitude, passion, energy. The thing that defines and connects us at G+C is our SPARK. Make Life Richer is our rallying cry and we jump into that everyday, with both feet, sometimes head first.
