“After gaining my CIMA qualifications I moved to Argos. Being new to the Retail industry, I immediately felt at home; the fast pace and daily challenge really suited me. After 2 years within Financial Planning and Analysis, gaining a comprehensive understanding of the business, I was promoted into a Controller’s role. Argos invested time in my development and recognised my hard work and commitment. I have since built a strong team around me, developed a new ‘People Development’ programme and had the opportunity to influence strategy across Stores in the UK and ROI. Argos is a great business to work in, where I am surrounded by like minded people in a stimulating and stretching environment.” - Claire (Stores Finance)
Commercial Finance Manager
“Soon after joining Argos five years ago, I realised that this place is all about providing stretching opportunities for it’s people. After just a few weeks I was in product selection for TVs, helping price our new Catalogue offer. After a year of working on a wide range of commercially focused projects with the buying teams, I was promoted to manager, within the Financial Planning team. Here I was able to gain a fantastic insight into the whole business operations, from the way we source goods in the Far East, through to the delivery of great service to our customers in our stores – very few businesses can offer such a genuine breadth of career experience under one roof. Now I lead the Commercial Finance function and everyday I see examples of the finance team being at the heart of the decision making process and not just keeping score on the sidelines.” - Alan (Commercial Finance)
