Handle Recruitment is representing an iconic streetwear brand as it relaunches, seeking a Marketing Manager to join their dynamic team and help shape the next chapter of the brand's story.

Our clients' origins:
From London to the world. Our client started on a Portobello market stall in 1989 and quickly rose to prominence through British '90s rap and club culture, later becoming synonymous with the early 2000s grime scene. Recognised as the UK's first credible streetwear label, the brand fused subcultural aesthetics with bold, graphic-driven style. Early licensing in Japan (1991) and the US (1995) helped establish it as a global cult icon.
Now, in 2025, our client returns with a recalibrated vision through a new brand platform: City-to-City (C2C). Relaunching as a next-generation streetwear brand designed for today's dynamic marketplace, the brand is more international in both attitude and outlook-rooted in legacy but engineered for the present, setting the tempo for what's next.
