TJX Europe – Company Profile

There is no other retail business like ours. TJX Europe is part of The TJX Companies, Inc. – the world’s leading off-price fashion and homeware retailer with an annual turnover exceeding $21 billion. We have approximately 154,000 TJX Associates and 2700 stores worldwide.

What makes us so unique? Off-price is a lean business model without frills or fancy extras. It involves buying when we find something amazing – much like our customers do – all year round and as close to season as possible to get the best deal. No two deals are ever the same, and Buyers are in the market all the time with an open brief to buy anything – as long as it’ll wow customers. And as we pay our invoices quickly, collect product from vendors, and never return or cancel orders, they love doing business with us, which puts us in a great position to negotiate on price.

Our European businesses include TK Maxx in the UK, Ireland, Germany and Poland, and HomeSense in the UK and our exciting growth opportunities mean that as an undergraduate, you won’t just be doing a job. You will play a key role in driving our expansion, whichever area of our business you join, and have unbounded career prospects ahead.

And most importantly for you: we don’t have a training department. What we have are Talent Development experts, people who can recognise your natural strengths and help you to maximise them, ensuring that you get the critical skills you need so that nothing holds you back from achieving your potential. Because one size doesn’t fit all, you’ll have options ranging from e-learning solutions to 1-2-1 sessions with your line manager to project work and much, much more. Some of our placements even offer the chance to gain externally recognised qualifications such as 6SigmaAnd with regular informal feedback and formal appraisals, you’ll be perfectly positioned to drive the many personal development opportunities you’ll come across.
