About boohoo group plc

"Leading the fashion eCommerce market"

Founded in Manchester in 2006 by Mahmud Kamani and Carol Kane, 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 and in March 2019 acquired the MissPap brand. United by a shared customer value proposition, our brands design, source, market and sell great quality clothes, shoes and accessories at unbeatable prices. This investment proposition has helped us grow from a single brand, into a major multi-brand online retailer, leading the fashion eCommerce market around the world. In August 2019, the group announced the acquisition of the online businesses for renowned British fashion brands Karen Millen and Coast, further extending the group's reach and target market.

As at 28 February 2019, the boohoo group had around 13 million active customer accounts across all its brands around the world.
