“There are many things I enjoy about boohoo starting from having a great diverse team delivering great results on a daily basis.”
-
Why did you apply to work for us?
I’ve heard lots of good things about the brand and decided to be the part of the family. At that time boohoo was one of the fastest growing e-commerce businesses in the UK and I wanted to help with the growth and at the same time grow, learn and develop myself. The fact it was a start-up site was made it even more interesting.

What’s the best thing about working for us?
There are many things I enjoy about boohoo starting from having a great diverse team delivering great results on a daily basis, the fact the site was opened 10 months ago and I have seen it grow, change and become the best it can be. I like the fact everyone has got an opportunity to prove themselves, and grow within the business
-
How would you describe the culture?
Everyone is friendly and supportive. The colleagues work well with the managers and HR. Although we come to work, everyone wants to have fun and enjoy their day while delivering the expectations.
-
What do you get up to in your role? What makes it different compared with other similar roles you’ve had?
I am an Operations Shift Manager on the AM shift. As a part of my job I need to ensure all operational tasks are delivered (i.e. shipping all orders on time, stock receipted and put away within SLA, controlling the stock accuracy), drive the engagement on site and ensure all the processes/policies are adhered to. What makes this role different from my previous roles is the fact that this site is like a ‘blank canvas’ and we can shape it to suit us and at the same time suit the business.
-
How has your career developed since you’ve worked here?
I started on site as a Operations Shift Manager and I am still in the same position, however during my time at UK3 I was able to lead the migration of our biggest brand (Nasty Gal) and delivered the batch picking project on site. I was also working on Continuous Improvement on site.
-
What’s been your biggest achievement/proudest moment so far?
I am proud of everything my team and I achieved, however the batch pick project, the successful peak with record breaking numbers and seeing my team grow are probably the most important things I am proud of.
-
What makes someone successful here?
To be successful at boohoo you need to be highly motivated, driven, open to change and be willing to learn. The site team will help you with everything else through coaching and developing you to be the best version of you.
-
What do you think makes us unique as an employer?
As a business we put in a lot of effort to ensure everyone feels part of the team, the boohoo family. Managers are approachable and HR team is supportive.
