About boohoo group plc
"Leading the fashion eCommerce market"
Founded in Manchester in 2006, boohoo is an inclusive and
innovative brand targeting young, value-orientated customers. For
13 years, boohoo has been pushing boundaries to bring its customers
up-to-date and inspirational fashion, 24/7. boohoo has grown
rapidly in the UK and internationally, expanding its offering with
range extensions into menswear, through boohooMAN.
In early 2017 the group extended its customer offering through
the acquisitions of the vibrant fashion brand PrettyLittleThing,
and free-thinking brand Nasty Gal. In March 2019 the group acquired
the MissPap brand and in August 2019, the Karen Millen and Coast
brands, all complementary to the group's scalable multi-brand
platform. United by a shared customer value proposition, our brands
design, source, market and sell great quality clothes, shoes and
accessories at unbeatable prices. These investment propositions
have helped us grow from a single brand, into a major multi-brand
online retailer, leading the fashion eCommerce market for 16 to
40-year-olds around the world. As at 29 February 2020, the boohoo
group had around 14 million active customers across all its brands
around the world.
