The store team at Regent Street has increased more than 500 percent over the past 12 years, as Apple introduced iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Apple Watch. The 512 employees span more than 20 nationalities and speak over 30 languages. Of the 100 employees who originally opened the store, more than a quarter remain at Apple.

Regent Street was Apple’s first store in Europe, having welcomed more than 60,000,000 visitors since 2004, though the company’s history in Europe goes back 36 years. Apple now employs more than 22,000 people in 19 European countries, including 6,000 in the UK.
