N Brown who we are and why work for us?
At N Brown, were committed to building a diverse workforce and creating an inclusive environment that values equality for all. Our vision is that by championing inclusion, well become the most loved and trusted fashion retailer. Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging are, therefore, at the heart of our culture.

Were a forward-thinking digital retailer with a financial services proposition to be proud of. Were customer-obsessed, serving them through three core brands: JD Williams, Simply Be, and Jacamo. Were experienced, with over 160 years of trading under our belt. Were inclusive, as we believe in fashion without boundaries; and were sustainable, striving to make as little impact on the planet as possible.

In May 2024 we were delighted to be named one of The Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2024. We work hard to create a happy and inclusive culture for everyone and were so proud to have made this list - as voted for by our very own colleagues!
