Let’s talk numbers. When it comes to UK retail, it’s hard to find a bigger name. We sell thousands of items an hour and are expanding our e-commerce business by the second. For anyone in Tech, this is the place to learn. To grow. And to thrive. 

 

Stock & Pricing are pivotal to ensuring our fantastic products are always available, both in our stores and for online customers. S&P support our Merchandisers by making sure that the right stock is in the right place across our UK high street, Lipsy, our international franchise stores and for our online customers. They do all of this whilst working to modernise our solutions onto new technologies and redesigning our complex legacy systems into modern new architecture. In retail today, few areas of expertise are as important as this.
