Fred Perry has always been different.

Triple Wimbledon champion Fred Perry was born to a cotton spinner. He played and fought his way through always with style, despite the establishment.

In 1952, he founded the Fred Perry brand, designing his first pique shirt the same year. That shirt, the shirt, would transcend sportswear to streetwear on the backs of generation after generation of British youth subcultures. The shirt is the start and end of everything we do, because it’s more than a shirt – it’s a rite of passage, it’s the uniform of the non-uniform. A true icon.

Today, Fred Perry is a global community of 370 employees, all inspired by the Laurel Wreath and what it represents.

Fred Perry has never adjusted its course for anyone. Never been a slave to fashion. Never tied itself to the latest subculture. This philosophy has led to long term collaborations with like-minded partners, from Comme des Garçons to Amy Winehouse and from Raf Simons to Charlie Casely-Hayford.

Diversity & Inclusivity

The Laurel Wreath is a symbol of individuality and of belonging. We pride ourselves in being an inclusive workplace, but we recognise this is a work in progress.

We set up a Diversity & Inclusivity group in order to educate ourselves and to start doing the work to make real positive differences across the business. We feel we needed to first take the time to look internally, speak to our teams and focus our energies on listening to our employees’ experiences.

Gender Pay Gap Report

Fred Perry employs 290 staff across the UK, 51.7% are Female and 47.9% are Male.

Our gender pay gap is currently still too wide, but we are making progress in that the gap is narrowing and it is our ambition to close Fred Perry’s gender gap – something we are working towards.
