Job Description

About us

ARNE is a rapidly growing UK-based Apparel and Footwear brand, built around minimalism and a philosophy of “Less Is More” both in the way we dress and the way we choose to live our lives. Our vision has always been to deliver simplicity, high-quality and timeless Clothing that offers genuine value for money. Headquartered in Birchwood Park near Warrington, we design and develop all our products in the UK, manufacture in both the Near and Far East and ship directly to customers via ARNEclo.com.

Since launching in 2018 from our mum’s bungalow, ARNE has grown rapidly. We\u2019ve recently expanded our presence by partnering with Selfridges, both in-store and online and we\u2019re excited to be opening our first standalone retail store in August 2025.

Looking ahead, we have bold ambitions. Over the next decade, we’re focused on growing internationally and strengthening our brand through new product categories, particularly in Footwear and Womenswear, as well as investment in Paid Media, CRM activity and continued creative development.

Our all-new, fully bespoke 36,000 sq ft HQ will be home for at least the next 5–10 years. While it’s not in our nature to shout too loudly, our sights are firmly set on taking ARNE global and establishing ourselves as a truly iconic UK brand.
