Fred Perry revenues up 10.4% in FY21

On this episode of Talking Shop I’m joined by Alain Bejjani—former Group CEO of Middle East retail giant Majid Al Futtaim, and author of the definitive new book, NEXT: Leading Through the New Realities. Drawing on his childhood in war-torn Beirut, and his experience steering a $9.5bn dollar retail and lifestyle empire through a global pandemic, Alain brings an unmatched perspective on leadership under pressure. Today, we break down his crisis survival playbook for retailers operating in distress. We discuss why resilience must always outpace efficiency, the four assets a brand must protect at all costs, and how to turn macro-turmoil into a long-term direction that scales.

British sportswear brand Fred Perry has revealed that its revenues rose by 10.4% to £112.m in its full-year results, while pre-tax profit totalled £11.7m, increasing from the £7m reported the prior year, despite the effects imposed by the pandemic.  

The retailer, which is mainly known for its polo shirts, has filed its 2021 full year results late due to a compulsory strike-off notice filed by the Registrar of Companies.

Elsewhere, gross profits rose to £55.9m from £48.7m for the year ending 31 December 2021. 

The brand’s owner, Fred Perry Holdings Limited, has celebrated its 70-year anniversary and has revealed that its future strategy will include embracing quarterly collections to provide “continuous newness and brand nourishing stories”. 

In addition, the group will look to emphasise social commerce, as well as focus on social responsibility.
