ABOUT SELFRIDGES
At Selfridges, our vision is to be the most imaginative shop in the world. We exist to spark joy by connecting people to original ideas. In the words of Harry Gordon Selfridge: “Imagination inspires. Imagination creates. Imagination leads the way”.
Selfridges is a landmark destination and a stage for originality, curating the rare, the new and the unforgettable. We set the scene by presenting unique ideas and providing unmissable experiences. Open to the World since 1909, we are proud to be a place where everyone is welcome, built on the belief that there is a brighter, better and bolder way.
The only store to be named Best Department Store in the World four times, we connect brilliant people, brands and ideas across our locations in London, Manchester and Birmingham. Beyond our stores, on our digital platforms, our customers access, explore and enjoy the Selfridges universe, anywhere, any time.
We continuously evolve our spaces: 40 Duke, our in-house cinema, restaurants, bars, skate bowl and our cultural programme, combined with ever-changing collaborators – artists, designers and exciting new brands – create new experiences for every visit.
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
Shaped by years of retail activism, sustainability is an integral part of who we are. Today, our Reselfridges 2030 strategy is embedded across every part of our brand and business. Built on three pillars - Principled, Progressive and Preserving - it guides the decisions we make and the actions we take, underpinned by our commitment to a net‑zero future. From experimenting with new shopping models to expanding circular products and services across all our stores - spanning pre‑loved, resell, recycle, repair and refill - we’re reimagining how our customers shop with us. By setting clear ethical standards and driving transparency with the brands and suppliers we work with, we’re committed to shaping a more sustainable future, and inspiring our customers and partners 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
