From the administrators' statement
Unless otherwise stated, information on the history of the Companies has been provided the directors of the Companies or publicly available sources and is not from our personal knowledge as joint administrators.
The Group was a leading British luxury retailer operating seven store locations across the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland, an e-commerce platform and international franchise operations.
The Group was founded in 1831, initially as a linen shop situated on the corner of Knightsbridge and Sloane Street. The business gradually expanded to occupy the entire block by 1874, before the original building was demolished in 1889 to make way for a purpose-built department store.
