We have been an employer in South Shields for over 100 years. We have always worked hard on our employment practices and today consider ourselves to be one of the best places to work in the North East of England.
In a recent employee survey our staff told us that Barbour is a good company to work for – only 4% of people disagreed! We are proud of this and believe that all the hard work put in by our management is starting to pay off.
Recently we refurbished our head office premises in South Shields to bring all of our departments together improving communication channels and making it a more fun, lively and interesting environment for all teams under one roof.
Barbour House in South Shields is now home to over 90 head office employees.

As an employer we have an ethos that all employees should understand clearly what the company’s objectives and goals are. Our Vision clearly sets out where our long term aspirations lie: The Barbour Vision.`
We will become a unique, truly global, casual clothing brand which offers a complete wardrobe of high quality, stylish, practical, distinctive clothing for discerning men and women, who lead an active lifestyle.
Everything we do is guided by the Barbour brand and its 100 year heritage. At the heart of both of these is the Barbour family and the British countryside.
We will focus all our energy and creativity on constantly surprising and delighting our customers with the quality of the product and service we offer. In return they will give is their enduring loyalty.
We will only achieve this by becoming a people focussed organisation, committed to developing our people’s skills, initiative and flexibility and rewarding contribution to results, service and progress towards our Vision.
At Barbour we are committed to working in line with our Values, everyone is expected to consider their behaviour and to walk the talk! Whatever the role that any individual holds we help them to understand the Values and how they can help to contribute to our environment.
Barbour has over the last few years gone through a great deal of change and this has been assisted by a programme that many of our employees had a very active, hands on involvement with. The programme has led to a working atmosphere which we are proud of – that is why we have so many people with over 20 years service!
Our management style is geared towards an approach of being results driven whilst at the same time allowing all employees to take real ownership. Employees are encouraged to make decisions and to feel that they can affect the future success of the company.
