Salary benchmarks
Our take
Legacy fashion retailer New Look is a staple of the British high street, dating back to the late 60s and with 440 high street shops across the UK. Over the years, the brand has entered into and left international markets, was purchased by investment holding company Brait SE, and has gradually improved its ethical and sustainable supply chain from a previous 2% of stock to more than 50%.
Of course, there is still a way to go on the shedding of New Look’s previous “fast fashion” designation, but withdrawal from the international market and a notable reduction of its stores in the UK suggest a more focused strategy moving forward. In 2022, New Look partnered with Primer, a no-code automation platform for digital payments. This is further evidence of New Look’s expansion of its digital marketplace, in line with the fact that 4 out of 5 UK shoppers are digital buyers.
