Jane Norman is a United Kingdom-based women's clothing retailler, owned by Edinburgh Woollen Mill.[1]
[edit] History
The company was founded by Norman Freed, who sold it on to Graphite Capital in 2003 for £70m. On 30 July, 2005, the company was purchased by Baugur for £117.4m.[2]
In early 2007, Jane Norman reported a 45% rise in profits over 2006, and released plans to open 100 more stores around the country, having already almost doubled their number from the year before, to 116.[3]
The company went into administration on 27 June 2011.[4] On 28 June 2011, in a pre-pack deal, the brand and 33 stores were sold to Edinburgh Woollen Mill Group.[5]
