Pros

None that justify the overall experience.

Cons

The most concerning aspect of this company is the number of people who leave. Staff turnover is exceptionally high, including experienced and talented employees who often do not stay long. Many people join the business full of optimism and genuine passion for the company and its brands, eager to contribute and build a career. Unfortunately, the working environment can be toxic, and over time that enthusiasm is worn down, leaving employees disengaged and looking elsewhere for opportunities. The business lacks many of the structures expected in a professional organisation, including meaningful appraisals, clear progression pathways, training and development plans, and regular communication around company strategy. Decisions can feel reactive, with priorities changing frequently and little explanation provided. Staff are often expected to deliver high quality and quantity of work with limited support in return. Morale is rock bottom and staff can be left feeling undervalued and easily replaceable despite their contribution. Unfortunately, the company is increasingly developing a reputation as somewhere talented people leave rather than build a long-term career, and based on my experience, that reputation is understandable.

Pros

I genuinely enjoy working here. Since day one, everyone has been incredibly welcoming, supportive, and willing to help whenever needed. The training and development support I’ve received has been excellent, and I feel like I’ve been progressing positively both professionally and personally. No two days are the same, which creates fantastic opportunities for continuous learning and development. While the work can be challenging at times, it’s also very rewarding. It rarely feels like work because I genuinely enjoy what I do and the environment I’m doing it in. It’s a great place to grow, develop new skills, and be part of a supportive team.

Cons

None that I can think of.

Pros

Henderson Design Group is a well-established family business and one of the most creative and rewarding places to work in the North East. From my experience, the company is professionally run, with clear processes, strong leadership, and a genuine appreciation for employees who consistently put in the effort. One of the things that stands out most is that hard work is recognised and rewarded. I have personally seen many dedicated and hardworking colleagues progress through the business and earn well-deserved promotions. There is a strong culture of development and opportunity for those who are willing to contribute and grow. The teamwork across the company is excellent. Every department works closely together, and communication throughout the business is open, effective, and professional. This collaborative approach helps ensure projects run smoothly and customers receive the highest level of service. The warehouse operation is particularly impressive, being managed to an exceptionally high standard. Orders are handled with care, attention to detail, and consistently dispatched on time. A special mention should go to the Warehouse Operations Manager their dedication and commitment, as well as the Production Team and Warehouse Operators who continuously go above and beyond to support the company and deliver outstanding results. Overall, Henderson Design Group is a company that values its people, encourages growth, and maintains high professional standards while fostering a positive working environment. Pros * Hard work and dedication are recognised and rewarded. * Genuine opportunities for career progression. * Strong communication across all departments. * Professional and well-organised management structure. * Supportive team environment with great colleagues. * High standards of quality and customer service. * Creative and innovative workplace. I enjoy coming into work and seeing all of the staff. If you're looking for a company where your hard work will be noticed, your career can progress, and you'll be part of a supportive and professional team, Henderson Design Group is an excellent place to build your future.

Cons

High standards mean expectations can be demanding - but meeting high standards has its own rewards.
