Salary benchmarks

Our take

Considered the earliest pioneer in merging high-end luxury with streetwear, End Clothing is an online and high-street retail company selling contemporary menswear, sportswear and quality lifestyle goods.

What started as a single store in Newcastle now occupies London and Glasgow locations as well as a highly popular eCommerce site, offering goods from over 400 brands and shipping over 6,000 products across the world every day.

END is in an exciting time of transition. After anointing a new CEO with expertise in both online and offline luxury retail channels, it was bought by Apollo Global Management in 2024. This will go some way to course-correcting a slow year for the company, as it economises its services and becomes more agile under new management.
