US private equity firm Carlyle has bought the Barclay family out of The Very Group.
The Nasdaq-listed company has completed a deal for the Liverpool-headquartered online retailer, which operates the Very and Littlewoods brands and offers customers flexible payment options.
The deal will see international media group IMI continue as a key stakeholder and concludes the Barclay family’s 20-year involvement in the business.
During that time, it has evolved from a traditional catalogue business into a purely online retailer.
