As demand for Enesco’s licensed giftware – to include Disney, Willow Tree and Yankee Candle – has increased significantly in recent weeks, weekends and evenings have seen the extended team pull together, to include directors, customer service and marketing teams, family members and ex-employees.
Employees from across the company have been joining their hard working colleagues in the company’s Carlisle warehouse to pick, pack and ship those all-important orders for Christmas sales.
“It’s definitely been all hands on deck at Enesco this December,” confirms trade marketing manager Aylish Ellwood. “Enesco is a big global company but with a team spirit often associated with a much smaller family run business. The deadline for Christmas isn’t going to be extended,” points out Aylish, “so when needs must there is a strong sense of ‘we are all in it together’ to achieve our goals.”
