Harvey Nichols
Harvey Nichols Group Limited (trading as Harvey Nichols) is a British luxury department store chain founded in 1831 by Benjamin Harvey; it is headquartered at its flagship store in Knightsbridge, London. It sells designer fashion collections for men and women, fashion accessories, beauty products, fine wines and luxury foods. It is owned by Hong Kong luxury goods company Dickson Concepts. The chain has 14 locations worldwide across Hong Kong, Ireland, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom, including a brasserie in the OXO Tower, London.
The business was founded by Benjamin Harvey as a linen shop in Knightsbridge in 1831. Harvey died in 1850, leaving the business in the care of his wife Anne, who went into partnership with Harvey's son-in-law, James Nichols, to form Harvey Nichols & Co.
In 1889, the existing space was demolished to make way for a new department store. The building was designed by C. W. Stephens and built in stages between 1889 and 1894. In 1920, Harvey Nichols was purchased by Debenhams and, in 1985 Debenhams including Harvey Nichols was acquired by the Burton Group.
In October 1991, Dickson Poon of Dickson Concepts acquired Harvey Nichols from the Burton Group for £53.6 million.
Throughout its run in the 1990s and 2000s, Harvey Nichols was heavily mentioned in BBC comedy series Absolutely Fabulous, starring Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley.
On 17 February 2014 Stacey Cartwright joined Harvey Nichols as chief executive officer of the Harvey Nichols Group of Companies. She replaced Joseph Wan, who held the position of CEO for 21 years and who retired at the end of March 2014.
Former CEO Stacey Cartwright left the company on 30 April 2018, handing over control of the company to Daniela Rinaldi and Manju Malhotra. Under their management, Harvey Nichols generated £229 million for the year to 30 March 2019, which marked a nine per cent increased from the year before.
In November 2019, after co-chief operating officer Daniela Rinaldi resigned from the company, the other co-operating chief, Manju Malhotra, became sole chief operating officer, working closely with executive director Pearson Poon.
