6. ABOUT VERY
Very is owned by billionaire brothers, Sir David Sir Frederick Barclay, and is a subsidiary of Shop Direct Group, which is U.K.’s second largest digital retailer.
Very has a long history which dates back almost a century ago. It was established in Liverpool in 1923 as Littlewoods by Sir John Moores, the former chairman of Everton FC (incidentally, his nephew, David Moores, is the former chairman of city rival Liverpool FC). In 2002, Littlewoods was acquired by the Barclay Brothers for a reported sum of £750 million.
The company then underwent several rebranding exercises which culminated in its final transition into a full online retailer under the trade name Very.
Today, Very is one of the market leaders in the clothing, apparels, toys and home accessories sectors among the younger demographic. Analysts attribute this to the company’s aggressive marketing and promotion campaigns which use young celebrities, popular TV shows and cultural events (including music festivals).
