01 / Behind the name
Who owns Harvey Nichols?
Frasers group business · Wholly owned acquiring operator · UK retail asset/business purchase [1][2][3]
The administrators confirm a completed business and asset sale on 13 August 2026 to Frasers Group Trading Limited, a wholly owned Frasers subsidiary. This is not a purchase of all shares in the old insolvent Harvey Nichols companies. The OXO Tower restaurant business went separately to Fallow Media Limited. Franchise rights do not establish ownership of international franchisee companies. [1][2][3]
Headquarters, incorporation and tax residence describe different things. A headquarters address does not tell you where all of a company’s tax is paid.
