It sells own-brand and third-partycosmeticsanddietary supplementsonline, and provides an end-to-end e-commerce service to third parties through its Ingenuity division.[5]As of 2024, the company operates 13 fulfilment centres, 9 production facilities and 32 data centres worldwide.[7]
History
[edit]The company was founded in Manchester in 2004 with a £500,000 investment by Matt Moulding and John Gallemore. The company soldCDsandDVDsonline before creatingwhite-labelweb stores for large physical retailers, includingAsda,Argos Entertainment,TescoandWHSmith.[8]It operated a warehouse inGuernsey,allowing customers toavoid paying VAT on items priced below £18.[9][10][11]
The creation of theiPhonein 2007 undermined this business model and The Hut Group began acquiring internet retailers and moving them into the group's existing systems and warehouses. The company purchasedZavviin 2009, Lookfantastic in 2010 andMyproteinin 2011. The group focused on beauty and lifestyle products because of the large margins and potential for international scaling.[8]
Investors includedTerry Leahy,a former chief executive of Tesco, andStuart Rose,the chairman ofOcado.In 2014, the company sold a 19.2% stake toKKR,whileBalderton Capital,a technology investor, held an identical stake.[12]BlackRockinvested £138 million in February 2016, andSofinaannounced an undisclosed equity stake in May 2016.[13][14]In August 2017,Sky Newsreported thatOld Mutual Global Investorshad made their firstprivate equityinvestment in The Hut Group.[15][16]In 2017, The Hut Group was valued at more than £2.5 billion making it one of the most valuable private companies in the United Kingdom, and one of the UK'sunicorncompanies.[17][18][19]
On 16 September 2020, THG floated on theLondon Stock Exchange,the largest IPO on the LSE since 2013.[20]The share price rose in value by 25% on the first day of trading, generating £920m for the company and £961m for the company's owners.[21]After the flotation, Moulding received one of the biggest payouts in UK corporate history of at least £830m in shares.[22]
However, by early October 2021, THG's share price had fallen by more than 60% since the start of the year.[23]On 12 October 2021, the company held a capital markets day to unveil its sustainability strategy with investors. Afterwards, shares fell by 35%, wiping £1.8 billion off THG's value.[24]
Following criticism of the company's governance arrangements,Charles Allenreplaced Moulding as chairman in March 2022, with Moulding remaining CEO.[25]
In July 2023, THG confirmed the sale of the OnDemand division to its existing leadership team, with financial backing from investment firmGordon Brothers.[26]The division included the webstoresIWOOT,My Geek Box, Pop In A Box, Very Neko and Zavvi.[3]ProBikeKit was sold separately toFrasers Groupin the second quarter of 2023. The sales generated £4 million and THG announced that both would continue as clients of Ingenuity.[26]Arrow Films was retained by THG and moved into the Ingenuity division.[2]
In June 2024, it was announced that THG had sold its Luxury division, including thedesigner clothing,accessoriesandhomewareweb stores, Allsole,Coggles,MyBag and The Hut, to Frasers Group.[27]

Controversies
[edit]Litigation
[edit]In 2014, The Hut Group suedOliver Cooksonfor £15 million, alleging that he and his off-shore trust had overstated the profits of Myprotein prior to its acquisition by The Hut Group in 2011. Cookson counter sued for £12.7 million claiming a breach of warranty and fraudulent misrepresentation. The matter went to the High Court in London in October 2014 and, after a month-long trial, judgement was given byWilliam Blairin November 2014 awarding Cookson an overall net result win of £6.5m in damages.[76][77]
At the costs hearing in December 2014, the judge awarded a payment of just under £7.5 million to be made by The Hut Group to Cookson and the Trust in respect of all of the claims and counterclaims in the action and one third of the costs incurred by Cookson and the Trust.[78]
Cookson and the Trust appealed the court's decision to award The Hut Groups damages.[79]The court of appeal dismissed the appeal on 22 March 2016.[80]
Property ownership
[edit]In January 2021, investors raised questions over the company's property deal with its CEO and co-founder, Matt Moulding.[81]Moulding sold himself many of the company's property assets, which he then is reported to rent back to THG for £19m annually.[82][81]In July 2023, it was reported that Moulding would sell the ICON campus, the site of THG's headquarters.[83]
