People
Leading the way
A big well done to two brilliant colleagues who’re helping make this a place where people
love to work.
Rajesh Gupta, Head of Trading for Argos Financial Services, and Sarah Nelson, Group
Financial Controller, have been named in the Financial Times EMPower Top 100 Ethnic
Minority Leaders list.
The list celebrates those fantastic role models in the UK who are improving their
workplaces so they can inspire black, Asian and minority ethnic colleagues.
Rajesh is chairman of our Argos BAME network, which he helped to set up and develop,
while Sarah, who appears on the list for the second year running, coaches people in her
BAME mentoring circles and shares her experiences through public speaking.
What’s new
Banana split
We’re cutting waste and protecting the planet in our
depots by swapping cardboard banana boxes with
reusable folding plastic crates.
The switch means we’ll be using four million fewer
cardboard boxes in our business every year. Our
Northampton and St Albans depots have already made
the change, and it’ll be rolled out across our other
depots in the coming months. Your top stories
