Across the business everyone has been working busily to ensure the success of peak - every single one of our colleagues has a part to play, and they’ve done, and continue to do a BRILLIANT job. Of course that hasn't stopped us from spending quality time with our teams, and enjoying a little bit of festive fun. From tree decorating and Christmas jumpers, to a virtual quiz and care appeal donations, not to forget the giant pass the parcel, our head office colleagues in-store as Busy Bunnies, and our Regional Managers competing for the 'biggest sale' crown. We’ve certainly made it a December to Remember at AS 💫 #annsummers #festivefun #empowertogether
