Celebrating over 20 years in business



GOOSE ISLAND CELEBRATE OVER 20 YEARS IN BUSINESS

GooseIsland derives its name from its location in the picturesque Swansea Marina where the company was set up. Karen Hutchings used her own creative talents to transform the rich traditional design heritage of the Far East into fashionable clothing, jewellery and accessories. From modest beginnings, selling through parties and craft fairs, Goose Island has grown into a well-established retail and wholesale company exporting all over the world.


GooseIsland has been trading since 1993 and currently has successful retail outlets in Cowbridge and Mumbles together with a warehouse and offices in Swansea and a retail and trade website. Goose Island supplies retail outlets throughout the UK and Europe on a wholesale basis. The clothing is manufactured in Indonesia, India and the EU and imported into the UK on a regular basis and Goose Island has now become a recognised brand throughout the UK and Europe.


In 2013 Goose Island won the prestigious award for


Best Welsh Fashion Business at the Vale Hotel in Cardiff. 


Here's to the next 20 years! x

Congratulations to Helen!

CONGRATULATIONS TO HELEN AT GOOSE ISLAND HQ

Helen has just been nominated and shortlisted for a prestigious award in the Celtic Manor Resort, Newport. We are very excited that Helen is a finalist for the Apprenticeship Award, Young Achiever of the year!

Yesterday a film crew arrived at our Head Office to film Helen and here are some photos of her being interviewed.

Helen has been working for Goose Island for a year and has put her Textile Degree to good use by assisting our design and buying team both in Swansea and Italy.  She also assists with photo shoots and on top of that she travels 80 miles a day from her home in Blackwood, Gwent to work in Swansea.

We're all looking forward to the Awards Ceremony on October 31st and will keep you posted with the results.  

   

Good luck to Helen! x
