To mark 40 years, CEO Nick Grayston and Founder Sir Stephen Tindall have announced volunteer leave for The Warehouse Group. Called Here for Good Leave, team members will have one paid day every financial year to volunteer. 

“We’ve always been about providing Kiwis choice and great value for the things they need and doing good for communities. That’s been in our DNA since the day our doors opened in 1982. Our new Here for Good Leave recognises the close connection we have in our communities and gives our team members paid time to make even more of a difference,” said Grayston.

Team members across The Warehouse, Warehouse Stationery, Noel Leeming, Torpedo7 and The Market’s distribution centres, fulfilment centres, stores and support offices are all eligible for the new leave. 

“I was so pleased to hear about Here for Good Leave for the team at The Warehouse Group. When we started The Warehouse 40 years ago, we wanted to make a difference for New Zealand. To know The Warehouse Group team members have paid time every year to give back means a lot, and I can’t wait to see how the team use it to do good,” said Tindall. 

To further celebrate 40 years, each The Warehouse store was given a share of $40,000 to donate.
