Women In Leadership
Meet Emma our Sustainability Leader...
"I started my career in March 2010 as a Department Manager at the Glasgow store. I progressed to Operations Manager in Sheffield, and after many different positions in retail, I then had the opportunity to work in France to join the International Sustainability team. This is where I found my true passion because I've been given the opportunity to define my own career within Decathlon. I feel like I add value every day to Decathlon UK and contribute to becoming a low-carbon business that has a positive impact on both people and the planet!"

Finance
Meet Yusef one of our Financial Business Partners...
"I joined Decathlon in 2001 as a part-time Workshop Technician in Surrey Quays. I was already a cycling customer, and I was amazed by the range available in the store. Also, the team was infectious with the energy, so it was really a no-brainer to apply. Over the years I've had many roles in retail, from Workshop Technician to Store Manager and now Financial Business Partner. The reasons why I love Decathlon is because it’s all about sport, like-minded passionate people working together towards the same goal, having a large amount of freedom and responsibility in different roles." -
Apprenticeships
Meet Claudio, one of our Workshop technician...
"I currently work at the Decathlon Eastlands store. I enrolled on the Cytech course in November 2017. I went to London to do the practical part of the apprenticeship where I spent two weeks learning everything from brake bleeding to wheel building. Then each week, I had coursework to complete to tick off the engineering side of the apprenticeship. Overall, it was an amazing experience that allowed me to gain all the confidence I needed to tackle these jobs on a weekly basis in store. It's definitely something I would recommend."
