The Hut Group is the UK’s leading, multi-website online retailer with rapidly growing international operations.



We sell fast moving consumer goods (“FMCG”) that are non-perishable with high levels of repeat purchase, and premium luxury products with higher average unit sales and strong consumer loyalty.



The business was launched in 2004. It established its in-house technology platform in 2006 and subsequently launched and acquired a range of retail sites entering entertainment in 2009, fashion in 2009, gifting and health & beauty in 2010 and sports nutrition in 2011.

This expansion was supported by an institutional private placement in April 2010. In 2009 The Hut Group was the winner of The Sunday Times Techtrack 100 of the UK’s fastest growing companies.
