Gordon Brothers, the global asset experts, acquired the Radley brand and related intellectual property. As the new brand owner, the firm will drive a growth strategy that expands Radley’s global brand and operations through strategic investments in people, products and marketing.
“We are thrilled to add another British icon to our global portfolio of brands,” Tobias Nanda, head of brands at Gordon Brothers, said. “Our goal is to invest in Radley and support the company’s next phase of development, expanding the brand’s footprint in the U.S., UK, Australia and Asia so future generations can experience the best of British craftsmanship.”
Gordon Brothers will pursue an asset-light model to unlock the full potential of the brand, focusing on strengthening relationships with key retailers, expanding the brand’s international presence and extending Radley’s product categories beyond handbags, watches, jewelry, eyewear and beauty gifting.
“We are honored to be the brand stewards for this modern British brand and look forward to bringing Radley to a wider consumer audience, with new territories, product categories and retail distribution channels,” Carolyn D’Angelo, senior managing director, head of brand operations at Gordon Brothers, said.
Nimit Shah, managing director at Gordon Brothers, added, “With our cross-border capabilities and deep experience in investing in and operating retail brands, we are well positioned to unlock value and expand these businesses into new markets while staying true to what makes each brand unique.”
