Our origins date back to 1841, when two brothers opened a textile warehouse in the Frisian town of Sneek, in the Netherlands. They opened their first shop 20 years later, selling traditional fabrics as well as a new product of historical significance: ready-to-wear clothing. These were the beginnings of a remarkable brand that went on to have an enormous impact on the fashion retail industry. Today, C&A can be found in Europe, Brazil, Mexico, and China.

In 2000, Redevco re-let 109 UK C&A stores comprising 500,000 m2. The majority of the UK portfolio was re-let within six months to major brands: Next, H&M, GAP, Primark, New Look and Wilkinson. Rental levels of the big UK stores were the highest in the portfolio, and in less than two years C&A’s share of Redevco’s tenant roll dropped to below 50% from 97% in 1999.

Our people are key to what we do. They are our partners who have helped shape our company and define our culture throughout the more than twenty years of our existence. Without our colleagues, we have no company, no business, and no possibility to realise our vision to help cities make a positive contribution to the health and well-being of people and planet.

We challenge ourselves to ensure that our company is seen and experienced as a diverse and inclusive organisation throughout the entire HR life cycle. We carefully curate our strong company culture, and our longstanding values of integrity, balance, excellence, and team spirit form the basis for a well-balanced, high performing and fully engaged team.
