Combining European craftsmanship with a British glint in the eye, Russell & Bromley offers iconic style and on-trend design that empowers people to feel exceptional every day.

Founded in Lewes in 1880, borne from a love story between Albion Russell’s daughter, Elizabeth, and George Bromley, today the business remains family-owned, operated, and proudly independent.

The Russell & Bromley business is entering an exciting period of growth with Vision 2030, an ambitious five-year roadmap to fuel our future success, under the leadership of CEO Andrew Bromley. Strategic actions include a commitment to brand and product transformation, continued growth of our UK & IRE retail footprint, and accelerated international expansion. This is an exciting opportunity to join us at a key inflection point in the business, coinciding with the launch of our first seasonal collection with new Creative Director, Daniel Beardsworth-Shaw, and the relocation of our Global HQ to Kingly St. W1 in the heart of Soho. This will now be home to our in-house design, creative, and product studios. Do you want to be part of our next chapter?
