pension contribution, 25 days’ holiday, free pairs & product discounts, FitFlop Feel-Good programme (including everything from

We know the world of work has changed, gone are the days of a 9-5 in the office every day. We currently have our UK office base at The Foundry, Hammersmith where we have a hybrid working approach of an average of 2 – 3 days in the office, with the rest of your week being home-based working. This approach allows us to get the balance right; culture is important to us and nothing beats facetime with our colleagues, but we’re actively promoting different work patterns that work for our teams both personally and professionally.
