About Us

A good place to start.

Ours isn’t exactly a household name – and yet we’re the largest, most profitable home shopping company in the UK. You’ll be itching to find out just how that’s possible, of course, and you’ve come to the right place. There’s a quick history lesson, though as you’d expect of a company with roots stretching back 146 years, we’ve summarised a fair bit of it.

Of more interest, we hope, is a look at where we’re at today, and what our business is like just now. Our very recent history – the last five years, say – has seen a lot of positive change in the company, so as you’re thinking about joining us now, you’re to be commended for your timing.

How you’d find working for us compared to other places you’ve been is difficult to gauge; we don’t know for sure what kind of culture you like. But we know what ours is like, so you’ll need to judge for yourself whether it sounds like your kind of place.
