Firm treats its entire staff to four-day Tenerife
THEY’RE definitely the luckiest employees in Scotland and could even be considered for the title on a UK-wide scale...
More than 40 workers from a Glasgow company have topped up their tans after bosses flew the entire staff out on an all-expenses-paid trip to Tenerife.
Employees from Glasgow-based tech marketing firm Pursuit were whisked off to the largest of the Canary Islands as a reward for all their hard work after the company smashed all of its sales targets last year
The lucky bunch escaped Glasgow’s wintry weather to spend four days basking in the sun, where they sipped on cocktails, enjoyed beach parties, and danced the nights away, with bosses picking up the whole tab.
The trip was part of the company’s seventh birthday celebrations and was the latest in a package of perks that resulted in the agency winning a host of awards, including SME Employer of the Year and Glasgow’s Best Workplace.
Bosses say they very much believe in a positive work-life balance, and also offer benefits including fulltime wages for four-day weeks, daily fitness classes, guaranteed family holidays and an option for term-time only employment, allowing for parents to work only when schools are in session.
Operations director Lorraine Gray described how the company couldn’t be where it is today “without our staff.”
She said: “We have grown very quickly to become a market leader in our sector.
“They are an outstanding team and we wanted to say a very big ‘thank you’ for all their hard work. Taking them away from freezing conditions for a break in the sun seemed like the best way to let them know how much we appreciate their efforts.”
Pursuit Marketing, in the city’s Minerva Street, is always on the lookout for talented people to join its team.
Entry level pay for telemarketing consultants starts from £26,000 per annum with uncapped bonuses, and typical on-target earnings are £40,000.
