Technology has played a huge part in that, helping us transition from catalogues’ to pureplay online retail, but we’re not the finished article. As the UK's largest integrated retail and financial services provider, we have a pretty unique position across three huge industries (retail, technology and credit) and our ambition is bold, to build the number one shopping destination for shoppers who value credit anywhere online.
