Frasers Group Acquisition of Harvey Nichols
Frasers Group plc has acquired luxury retailer Harvey Nichols from administrators FTI Consulting LLP. The deal includes over 800 premium brands, 1,000+ employees, online operations, existing inventory, and six UK stores (Knightsbridge flagship, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, and Edinburgh), alongside international franchise agreements and select Dublin assets. The OXO restaurant was excluded and sold separately.

Aligned with its ‘Elevation Strategy’ Frasers Group aims to leverage its operational expertise and luxury brand relationships (including Gucci, Moncler, Burberry, Prada, and Dior) to return the 200-year-old retailer to long-term profitability.
