What do you think makes us unique as an employer?
The boohoo family encourages everyone to be creative and inspires confidence in the workforce. This is reflected on our websites and our social media, but really it shines from within. boohoo truly is a company that puts employees first, and in return it has a passionate, devoted workforce who strive for the success we are enjoying. We are investing heavily in automation and think ahead of the game. We are kitted out with everything needed to accomplish our targets. The offices are incredible with gyms, subsidised canteens, smoothie bars and coffee shops. There aren’t many businesses with such a focus on staff wellbeing and happiness.
