ABOUT SELFRIDGES
At Selfridges, our vision is to reinvent retail while staying true to our purpose of imagining and creating a bright future for everyone.
Selfridges is more than a shop. It is a landmark destination and social centre where everyone is welcome. Powered by imagination and filled with creative spirit, we invite collaboration and congregation. From our in-house cinema, restaurants and bars, skate bowl and extraordinary cultural program to our ever-evolving roster of collaborators – artists, designers and innovative new brands – we are a creative playground in which to discover and share new ideas.
The only store to be named Best Department Store in the World four times, Selfridges is committed to transformational change across all platforms to make the act of shopping responsible, purposeful and riotously fun.
OUR HERITAGE
Selfridges was founded in 1909 by retail maverick Harry Gordon Selfridge. Harry Gordon had a revolutionary approach to business, putting theatre and experience at the heart of the Selfridges brand. We continue to honour this rich and storied founding spirit by weaving creative experimentation, activism, and cultural enrichment through our extraordinary customer experience.
RESELFRIDGES
With over a decade of retail activism, our commitment to changing the way we shop is at the heart of our business. From launching Project Ocean in 2011, which saw us take ocean conservation issues to new audiences, through to unveiling ambitious targets and a commitment to a net zero future as part of Project Earth in 2022, we’ve continued to push boundaries and evolve our business to create real meaningful change for the retail industry. Today, our Reselfridges initiative brings circular shopping to the forefront, with rental, repair, pre-loved and refill services available in permanent destinations across all four of our stores. From championing innovative brands and future-facing products to introducing new shopping models and banning single-use plastic, we’re constantly exploring new ways to reinvent retail and change the way we shop – inspiring our customers to do the same.
DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION
Harry Gordon Selfridge opened the doors of our Oxford Street store with the manifesto ‘Everyone is Welcome’ – something which we continue to stand by today. We are working to continue Harry’s legacy in making Selfridges a truly diverse and inclusive environment in which to work and shop – for our teams, our customers and our partners. We have been developing more transparent and fair processes, as well as building skills and opportunities that support diverse talent and driving internal mobility.
COMMUNITY & CHARITY PARTNERS
Finding ways to make the world brighter is at the heart of what Selfridges stands for, and a key part of our ethos is supporting and empowering those in our local communities and beyond. Together with our team members and customers, we work with several charity partners in London, Manchester, Birmingham and Leicester to help make a positive difference to our communities.
SUPPORTING LOCAL & INDEPENDENT BRANDS
Our expert buying teams scour the globe for under-the-radar fashion talent, emerging labels and UK based makers. Our mission is to discover and platform the breakthrough brands who are designing a brighter future.
OUR CAREERS
When it comes to customer experience, no one does it quite like Selfridges, and that’s because our extraordinary team members know how to surprise, amaze and amuse our customers. We’re made up of a range of creative and passionate teams across London, Leicester, Manchester and Birmingham with roles in Retail, Digital, Head Office and Restaurants. At Selfridges, we help people achieve their career goals in a fast-paced environment where there’s always an opportunity to learn something new.
