●     Continuously listening to our customers and acting on what they say.

●     Selling only quality, design-led & genuinely useful things.

●     Knowing we’re all in it together. Being nice to customers, suppliers and each other and championing equality, inclusion and tolerance at every opportunity.

Who will be happy here?

The KIDLY culture is one of positivity, helpfulness and mutual respect. This evolved naturally, and easily, as every member of our founding team has those qualities on a personal as well as professional level.

Anyone that joins us will share these qualities, have a sense of humour, but also be a driven professional. We have lots to do and, although we enjoy each other’s company and have fun, we all know why we’re here and are driven to achieve those goals.

It also helps here if you love customers and retail. Most of us are our own customers, in that we either have young kids, or we’re proud aunts and uncles. We also love e-commerce, all the data it produces, and all the fun you can have trading and interacting with customers in real-time. This is something you can learn to love, if retail is not your natural habitat, as long as you have a passion for shopping, have a bit of a geeky side and like people
