Contestants have been given a gift pack with our #892 or #992 safety boots, waterproof spray, caps, socksOver the last five years, the growth of our brand has seen our HQ team in Hobart increase by 50%. To support this, we are proud to have recently opened our new innovation and design centre.
Our new architecturally designed hub, affectionately dubbed “C St”, houses our Design, Marketing and Sales teams and is centred around creativity. At the heart of the building is our Design Centre, a state-of-the-art facility for our design and technical teams to innovate and prototype new products.
Our CEO Steve Gunn was heavily involved in the process, working with our Brand and Design teams to ensure a creative space that also served practical needs:
"At a practical level, the most exciting part of the new building is the ability to spread out. Our growth had resulted in us being a bit tight in our existing accommodation. My favourite element has to be the Design Centre. For the first time, the business has a space that can do justice to the design process, allowingBlundstone recently embarked on its first partnership with popular renovation series, House Rules High Stakes. The series saw eight new teams transforming a high-rise penthouse above a 32-story building in the Gold Coast, the program’s toughest challenge yet.
At Blundstone, we value our people for the skill and contribution they make to our business. In celebration of International Women’s Day this Sunday 8 March, we asked Rachel Lash and Jo Moran from our executive team, what it means to them to be a leader in our business.
Blundstone CEO, Steve Gunn talks about the recent wave of Blundstone's success over the past few years.
From Chelsea Boots to Work Boots, he talks about how the brand has grown globally in recent years and plans to keep momentum this year in its 150th anniversary along with the years ahead. With availability now in selected retailers and a strong brand loyalty that it aims to retain as it grows, Gunn mentions the brand has no complacency - “staying true to our distribution partners, retailers and consumers—those who have helped us get to where we are—is critical to how we go forward. We need to prioritize that over rapid growth. It’s served us well so far.”
