Dr. Martens plc

To us at Dr. Martens, Halloween is much more than just a holiday; it’s a chance to embrace creativity, express ourselves, and make a statement the DMs way! Last week, we took the Halloween spirit global with an array of ghoulish goings-on across our regions in the UK, Europe, Americas, and APAC 👻 From a spine-tingling scavenger hunt to pumpkin painting and spooky snacks, we had it all. Not forgetting some frightful fancy dress seen across our locations, from offices to factories, distribution centres, and retail. Moments like this are where our #RebelliousSelfExpression really comes alive, and with a culture rooted in creativity and connection, what better time to combine the two with a sprinkle of spookiness than Halloween? 🎃   Here's to spooky traditions and many more moments that matter at Dr. Martens! How did your team celebrate? #Halloween #LifeAtDMs #DrMartens

This October, we proudly celebrated Black History Month across our EMEA region, honouring the rich heritage and contributions of the Black community. Our celebration featured a bumper selection of activities, including inspiring stories from artists, designers, archive directors, and retail managers. A huge thank you to everyone who participated and made this month memorable! Darren Leon Mckoy hosted a panel with creatives, Foday Dumbuya (Founder and Creative Director of Labrum London) and TRAICELINE PRATT an emerging designer whose 1460 Boot design won the Dr. Martens x Central Saint Martins, University of The Arts London competition. They shared what led them to pursue a career in fashion and the influences on their design and work. We were honoured to have the Black Cultural Archives, a DM Foundation Partner, visit Camden. The amazing The Flygerians Nigerian street food- Corporate caterers provided lunch while Lisa Anderson shared BCA’s incredible work and archival treasures. If you haven’t yet, make sure to visit BCA in Brixton! Three of our incredible retail store managers, Camille Stewart; Gary JEREMIE and Joyce Mukasa joined our Chief Brand Officer Ije Nwokorie, to discuss their career journeys and experiences at DMs. Leading the way in retail, they shared their learnings and best practice on inclusive leadership. To wrap up the celebrations we had a party at our Camden offices, opening with spoken word artist and two-time Glasto performer, Mstr Samuel. PTPLays kept our wellbeing in check with sessions on rebellious self-expression and authenticity. DJing the night was Damali Tyson aka CHAos w/Dams, and huge thanks to All Roads for bringing their signature African American soul food and Simon Santhanam and the team from ArtPlay London for bringing this collaborative experience to us. Check out the mural we created with the artists and Art Play – a fantastic memory for our BHM 24 celebrations! 🖤💛
