Headquarters in Paradise
The Glove Company Headquarters is based in an amazing and unique location, Port Stephens just north of Newcastle – the second biggest and second oldest city in New South Wales. Newcastle stands at the mouth of the Hunter River which extends inland for 180 kilometres.
Newcastle is a vibrant cosmopolitan harbour city with plentiful beaches linked by the Bathers Way coastal walk stretching from Nobbys Beach and Merewether Beach. The walk provides access to Bogey Hole, a convict-built ocean bath from the colonial period. Also along the path is the 1800s Fort Scratchley, a historic site and viewpoint for watching migrating whales.
