Our purpose is to make every one of life’s journeys better.
For over 230 years, we have served customers through our presence in travel hubs and hospitals, providing a retail destination of choice and a sense of community for thousands of customers every day.
Today, we operate in more than 30 countries, employ approximately 9,000 colleagues, source products from thousands of suppliers, and play an important role in supporting vibrant and sustainable local economies.
We are committed to sustainable growth that delivers long-term value for our shareholders while maintaining high standards of environmental stewardship and social equity.
To meet these responsibilities, it is essential that our colleagues, business partners and suppliers are equipped to make the right decisions. We support this through a strong values-based culture, ongoing training and development, and a robust framework of responsible business governance, policies and programmes.
“At WHSmith, our purpose is simple: to make every one of life’s journeys better.”
