The Story so far…

ASOS burst on to the scene in 2000 and has not looked back. We are the UK’s number one fashion and beauty destination, and as a recent survey showed, we are the second most visited fashion website on the planet. We ship to over 190 countries and have specific sites targeting the USA, French and German, Italian and Australian markets. With much excitement, we opened our office in Sydney in January 2012 and New York in September 2012, France and Germany following soon after. This is all part of our strategy, which we call ASOS Future.

The ASOS Way

We do things a certain way - The ASOS Way.  It’s our DNA and runs through every single thing we do here  - it defines who we are, what we do and how we do it. Some things change, these don’t.

We are Passionate; we are proud to be a part of ASOS, we always give our best and we celebrate our successes.

We are Customer Obsessed; we know our customers love fashion and we understand what they want, we know our stuff inside and out, we put our customers at the heart of everything we do.

We restlessly innovate; we do not stand still, we give it a go and we are brave.

We are Collaborative and Respectful; We work together to get the job done, we grow ideas from within, we make things happen and we do the right thing.

People are the future of our business and we have big ideas. We know we need people who can turn these ideas into reality – it’s our people that make the difference.
