Meet the British entrepreneur, 31, who built a BILLION pound firm selling £15 dresses

Boohoo Group PLC (LON:BOO) operates as an online fashion retailer in the United Kingdom, rest of Europe, the United States, and internationally. The company also provides its products under the boohoo, boohooMAN, PrettyLittleThing, Nasty Gal & Miss Pap brand names.
