New Look

New Look has come a long way since our first store in Taunton in 1969. We now have over 1000 stores worldwide, in the UK and Republic of Ireland, Europe, the Middle East, Singapore, Russia and Poland. Last year alone 355 million customers visited New Look either online or in one of our stores..

Our brand is about delivering fashion excitement, newness and value. So we translate the latest trends from the catwalk, celebrities and the streets as fast as we can, providing our customers with fashion that is bang on trend - and great value to boot. We regularly win awards for our clothing and footwear and remain the number 1 retailer by volume for denim and dresses. New Look isn't just for the girls either - we are gaining market share in menswear. Our online business also continues to grow, with customers visiting New Look whenever and wherever it suits them - making us one of the most visited fashion websites in the UK.

We care about how we operate and are committed to ethical trading and animal welfare. We limit our impact on the planet by reducing the waste we send to landfill and using less energy.

Mim

Mim is one of the top ten fashion retailers in France. It has been trading for 30 years and has over 300 stores dotted throughout France and Belgium, although these days customers can also enjoy shopping 24/7 at http://www.mim.fr/.

It's a brand that lives in the moment and believes in fashion for all. Consequently it appeals to many different women, 60 million of whom visited Mim last year alone.

As an independent subsidiary Mim is its own business, with its head office in Paris and a team of 1800. But with its vast range of fashionable products at incredible prices it shares the same spirit and lives and breathes the same values as New Look.

Our Brand

We're all looking for something new and exciting to wear but it can be hard to find what's just right for you - and at the right price.

This is where New Look comes in. Our brand pillars of fashion excitement, value and newness are at the heart of everything we do. We deliver irresistible fashion at brilliant prices which means more fashion excitement for our customers - more of those 'Wow! Look what I've just found' moments.

This means we can take on the competitors - with genuinely surprising prices and with fashion credentials that stand us apart from other value retailers.

New Look Values

From talking to our customers we have found there are three things that make New Look different.

We are impatient. We love the fashion business so we always keep things new and fresh, giving customers plenty of reasons to keep coming back.

We are confident. We try new things, we take big risks otherwise our business wouldn't have grown so fast with so many best sellers. We're also confident in our customers, we listen to them all the time and trust what they tell us.

New Look is fun. Customers love the excitement and possibility of fashion which is why we are lively, friendly, optimistic with an unfailingly positive attitude to life.

Their Responsibility

Ethical Trading Vision

Our vision is to bring about real and sustainable change in factory conditions. We're committed to improving workers' lives and livelihoods by working closely with suppliers to jointly understand and resolve workplace issues.

New Look has been a member of the Ethical Trading Initiative since 2003 and since then we have increased our investment and activity in response to increased interest from our customers.

Organic / Eco Clothing
We launched our Organic Cotton range in Summer 2007 to reduce the environmental impact of our products. Organic cotton is grown without the use of pesticides and is therefore better for the environment, and the cotton farmers themselves.

Recycling & Waste
We recognise that we have a responsibility to our planet to reduce the impact from the packaging of our products. We've introduced a number of initiatives to reduce the amount of packaging we use, while recycling the necessary waste effectively.

Energy
We've put a number of practices in place to reduce energy across the business. Whether this simply means having timer switches in our stores to minimise the cost of lighting; or more eco-friendly ways of transporting goods (via rail rather than the traditional road method for example). Step by step we're coming up with lots of ways to reduce our Carbon Footprint.

Charity
We've raised an incredible £170,000 for baby charity Tommy's by selling T-shirts and teddy bears, and encouraging our people to get involved in fundraising events. These included a sponsored cycle ride to France by some very committed company directors. And yes, they wore the lycra look very well.

Head Office

Our Head Office in Weymouth houses all the functions that are critical to the New Look operation. These include HR, IT, Corporate & Social Responsibility, Finance, Property, Marketing and Operations. Our Buying & Merchandising teams are also based in Weymouth, although most of the time they're scouring the globe to find the products our customers want at a price that's right.

The Weymouth HQ is a bright, fast-paced, exciting and constantly changing environment to work in. We're also undertaking planning for construction of a brand new Head Office just down the road from the current site.

And with our coastal location, we can ensure it's not just your career that continues to flourish. We place huge emphasis on achieving a healthy work-life balance that respects your needs and commitments away from work.

New Look international

Further afield, we've signed a contract with the Landmark Group to open 40 stores in Dubai, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia over the next five years. At a whopping 15,000 square feet each, these stores will bring our fabulous fashion to a wider global audience.

Of course we're not stopping here and we plan to move into even more countries over the next few years. It's all part of the New Look story - one we'd like you to be a part of.

Training & Development

Whether they work in one of our stores, head office or our distribution centre, we're never happier than when one of our people gets promoted and takes their career to the next level. That's why we have a development support in place to suit each individual.

When you first join, rather than throw you in at the deep end, we'll introduce you to life at New Look on our induction programme. It's here that we'll explain to you the part you'll play in the on-going success of our business, what we expect of you and what you can expect of us. It's all about getting your New Look career off to a flying start.

We are keen to work with you to support your personal development. We will look at all your strengths and make them stronger, as well as developing the areas that might need a bit of work. Providing you with support whenever you need it, we'll do our all to polish your skills and increase your know-how, so you can take your career wherever you want it to go.

Rewards & Benefits

The most important people to us are the ones working so hard to keep our outfits popular. So, we realise the importance in saying thank you with a healthy and generous rewards package.

We offer all of our people a 50% product discount package that's well ahead of our competition and means you can really look the part for half the price. And, when you consider our already fantastic prices, that's a great deal. On top of this, we also offer competitive bonuses and incentives, life assurance, as well as a company pension scheme. It all adds up to a dazzling package.
