About Next
Next is a British multinational clothing, footwear and home products retailer headquartered in Enderby, Leicestershire. Founded by Joseph Hepworth in 1864 as a tailor shop, the company was rebranded as Next in 1982 under the leadership of George Davies, marking a significant transformation in its business model.
The retailer is known for offering stylish, quality clothing and homeware at mid-market price points. Next caters to men, women, and children, with extensive ranges that include everything from formal and casual wear to accessories and home furnishings. The company has built a reputation for consistent quality and reliable fit across its product ranges.
Next pioneered the directory shopping model in the UK, launching its first mail-order catalog in 1988. This innovation laid the groundwork for the company's successful transition to online retail, with Next Directory evolving into one of the UK's most successful e-commerce platforms.
The company operates through three main channels: retail stores, the Next online platform, and Next International, with hundreds of stores across the UK and Europe, and a growing global e-commerce presence. Next has also expanded its brand portfolio through acquisitions and partnerships, including operating websites for other brands and developing its own branded product lines.
