Andy Burton, our CTO here at The VeryGroup, will be speaking at Prolific North’s Digital City Expo on 12 March. He’ll share his thoughts on how to become an agile retailer, including learning to adapt to change at lightening speed and adopting new ways of working to enable hundreds of customer experience improvements every week.
Here at Very, we like to turn great ideas into action! Take our WAVE (Women at Very) network for instance. Something that started as a chat over coffee but grew to 75 members in just 3 months! Lucie, our customer operations strategy manager brought together a network of females across the business to connect, support and share. "I’m so proud of what we’ve done in such a short time and very excited about all the plans we have for the future. Here’s to making waves!" #veryinnovative #lifeattheverygroup #jointhereinvention

What a brilliant two years working with the Booth Centre and The Whitechapel Centre as our charity partners. Our colleagues really got behind the #SD600Kchallenge and completely smashed the target, raising £710,000! 🎉 The funds raised will support the incredible work that these charities do in providing support for people affected by homelessness, social exclusion and housing poverty in the North West.
Brilliant shots taken by our principal systems engineer Will Lee at the BIG tech breakfast on Tuesday 📸 The event brings together various teams across tech to share an overview of any projects they're passionate about. All colleagues are welcome to pop along to learn, meet new faces and grab a free breakfast and brew whilst they're taking it all in! The festive feels were in full force for this one, with a mixture of topics and stands including: the tech forum, referrals, data, colleague feedback, chess, quizzes, dancing and did we mention free breakfast barms *senses a barm/bap/batch debate* 🙈 Tons of interesting conversation and knowledge sharing. This is #shopdirectlife and we 💖 it!
