Who are we?

Animal was acquired by Mountain Warehouse and re-launched in the Summer of 2021, initially with an online presence only, before we moved to showcasing a range in some of our stores. We are so excited to be opening our first few stores. The new Animal in-house design team have taken inspiration from Animal's board sports heritage to create a range of authentic, trend-led, and eco-friendly products.

Passionate about sustainability, we've added well-established sustainable material partners to our supply chain such as PrimaLoft, ECOVERO, and TENCEL Lyocell, as well as increasing the amount of Organic Cotton and recycled materials in our ranges. We have also partnered with reGAIN, who help divert product from landfill and contribute to a circular environmental retail model.

Mountain Warehouse has 380+ stores globally and over 3000 employees; we are a leading outdoor retailer, with an always-evolving attitude.

We love seeing people grow; many of our team have started their journey with us, progressing to more senior roles. We are passionate about developing our store teams, recently launching an online learning portal with some great tools!

Benefits include:

• Monthly Bonus scheme
• 50% Employee Discount across Animal and Mountain Warehouse, with a twice-yearly uniform allowance
• 1 weekend off per month, with 28 days annual leave, including Bank Holidays
• Access to Employee Assistance Programme, and a Colleague Hardship Scheme
• Employee Referral Incentive unlimited
• A stable, successful and supported environment so many of our team have grown their career here
