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. Since 2006, 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, in August 2019 the Karen Millen and Coast brands and in June 2020 the Warehouse and Oasis 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 affordable prices. These investment propositions have helped us grow from a single brand, into a major multi-brand online retailer, leading the fashion e-commerce market for 16 to 40-year-olds with a global presence. As at 31 August 2020, the Group had just over 17 million active customers across all its brands around the world.
In January 2021, the Group acquired the intellectual property assets of Debenhams, with the goal of transforming a leading UK fashion and beauty retailer into an online marketplace through a new capital light and low risk operating model that is complementary to the Group's highly successful direct-to-consumer multi-brand platform. In February 2021, the Group acquired the intellectual property assets of UK brands Burton, Dorothy Perkins and Wallis.
