In Conversation With: Kelvin Okafor
Here at Harrods, we embrace a broad definition of diversity, from gender, sexuality, ethnicity, disability, background and experience. Our goal is to increase representation to reflect our customers and the global marketplace we operate in.
As part of National Inclusion Week and Black History Month we caught up with the incredibly talented Kelvin Okafor.
Around the age of 8, Kelvin vividly remembers having a love and strong fascination for drawing with pencils. He found the instrument to be a humble one and would often use the expression ‘aliveness’ to describe its technical and sentimental value. In this exclusive interview for Harrods, Kelvin shares a little bit about growing up Nigerian, living in London and having a passion for Art.

Hybrid at Harrods
At Harrods, we understand that every role is different. That’s why our approach to hybrid working is flexible. Some colleagues are fully on-site, while others split their time between the office and home – this is what we call ‘Hybrid’.
We believe in the value of coming together to connect, collaborate and learn, while also appreciating the benefits of focused work from home. Most hybrid roles involve being on-site at least three days a week, depending on business needs.
