Primark

We’re Primark – one of the biggest names in fashion retail!

Adored by fashion fans for 50 years, our aim is to bring affordable fashion to everyone around the world. We offer a wide range of products, stocking everything from baby to menswear, home to womenswear.
Our Head Office is in Dublin, where we opened our first store in 1969 under the name Penneys.

Over the years we’ve improved our business from a small one, into a global, international organisation.
We currently have more than 70,000 employees who work in over 400 stores and Regional Head Offices across 15 countries in Europe and US.

Despite this, we’ve never lost our people approach, and with our global presence growing stronger and stronger, opportunities for our people are even stronger too.

Here at Primark, we do things a little differently to bring affordable fashion for all without compromising our strong ethical values.

Primark does not own factories and we are very selective about who we work with.
The welfare of the people making our products matters to us.

Before we place an order with a new supplier we audit each factory to check whether internationally-recognised standards are being met. Once approved, it’s the job of our Ethical Trade and Environmental Sustainability Team, a group of more than 100 experts based in key sourcing countries, to help factories meet these standards.
They audit suppliers at least once a year, sometime more, so that we can get a detailed picture of what conditions are like inside the factory.

As well as working directly with suppliers and their factories, we believe we can play a role alongside other retailers, NGOs and other organisations, to improve ethical and environmental standards in the industry.
That’s why we’re a member of the Sustainable Apparel Coalition, we committed to Greenpeace’s Detox Campaign in 2014 and are a founding member of the ACT initiative on wages.

We’ve also been a member of the Ethical Trading Initiative since 2006 and have achieved the top level ‘leadership’ status since 2011.

We are also proud to state that own-brand cosmetics at Primark have been awarded coveted Leaping Bunny status by Cruelty Free International, the gold standard certification programme for products that are free from animal testing.

From now on, the entire Primark PS… range including make-up, skincare and haircare products feature the Leaping Bunny logo, a visible reminder that cosmetics at Primark are officially cruelty free.

Leaping Bunny accreditation at Primark means there’s now even more choice for people looking for affordable cosmetics on the high street that are not only guaranteed cruelty free but also follow the latest trends and deliver as well as more expensive products.
With over 2,500 products and 7,000 individual ingredients verified, the certification programme is one of the largest ever undertaken by Cruelty Free International.

Fashion calls for all kinds of people.
From Finance to Buying and Merchandising, we offer opportunities for further study and even international travel!
We work on offering our customers the latest fashion in a matter of weeks not months so we’re looking for people who will thrive on our fast-paced environment.

Our Head Office colleagues are based across our International HQ in Dublin and our UK HQ in Reading.

Both offices have been redeveloped and are amazing examples of attractive, intelligent office spaces. Both have stylish break-out areas where you can relax, chat and get creative.
Our Head Office functions include:
- Buying & Merchandising
- Store Development & Facilities Management
- Human Resources
- Finance
- ICT
