ABOUT US

Although headquartered in the US, P&G was founded by an Englishman and an Irishman in 1837 as a soap-making company. Since then, P&G has expanded to 70 countries worldwide, beginning its international expansion with the acquisition of Thomas Hedley Co., based in Newcastle upon Tyne, in 1930. Ever since, P&G has maintained a strong presence throughout the UK and Ireland, producing some of the countries’ most well-loved brands such as Fairy, Gillette, Pampers, Oral-B and Pantene.

WORKING AT P&G UK & IRELAND

Our People & Our Products

• Most of all, we strive to represent the diversity of the consumers we serve. With around 60 nationalities represented in our Northern Europe workforce (>140 nationalities globally), our own diversity helps us to understand and meet the varied needs of consumers around the world: after all, the best thinking, best ideas and best innovations come from diverse teams with different experiences.

Our Society & Our Planet

- All of which enables us to constantly (and proudly!) challenge the status quo. We redesign products (e.g. H&S beach plastic bottles) and implement wholly new business models (e.g. loop). We use our voice in marketing to address important issues such as gender equality (e.g. “The best men can be”, “Like A Girl”), and equality & inclusion (e.g. “The Words Matter”, “Love Over Bias”, “The Pause”).
