Tottenham Hotspurs

Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, commonly referred to as Tottenham or Spurs, is an English professional Premier League football club based in North London. Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has been the club’s home ground since April 2019, replacing their former home of White Hart Lane, which had been demolished to make way for the new stadium on the same site. Their training ground is on Hotspur Way in Bulls Cross in the London Borough of Enfield. The club is owned by ENIC Group. The club maintains a substantial revenue in excess of £500m p.a.

The business has expanded rapidly over recent years with ambitious investment plans to continue target significant growth year on year, and with the considerable progress of several new products including outdoor living, has resulted in exciting opportunities for employee development.
