Aged just 34, Alessandro Dudech has grown up at Uniqlo, where he started as a graduate trainee and is now charged with making the Japanese clothing retailer a British household name.
The Italian only took on the position as head of Uniqlo’s UK business a year ago, just as the pandemic began to ease, but has already opened three stores – including London outlets in Battersea and Regent Street – and is keen to keep up the pace. The pandemic also raised the profile of Uniqlo online, driving demand for home deliveries and sign-ups to its app.
