Snap Products and The Pen Warehouse are pleased to announce the introduction of two exciting initiatives aimed at improving the work environment and recognising the outstanding contributions of their team members.

Understanding the importance of work-life balance, the company is empowering employees to take control of their time off with the new Annual Leave Purchase scheme. This ground-breaking initiative allows team members to purchase additional annual leave days beyond their regular entitlement. By providing this flexibility, the company aims to enable their workforce to plan dream holidays, spend quality time with loved ones, or simply enjoy some well-deserved rest and relaxation.

Snap Products and The Pen Warehouse take immense pride in the dedicated and talented individuals who have been part of their team for years. In recognition of their unwavering commitment, the company is launching the Years of Service Achievement programme. This initiative serves as an opportunity to celebrate those significant milestone moments that showcase loyalty and dedication.
