Very Groups New Owner: Carlyle Takes Control, Signaling End of Barclay Familys EmpireThe Very Group, a prominent online retailer, has been acquired by Carlyle, marking the end of the Barclay familys twenty-year ownership. This shift comes after Carlyle, already the main creditor, had been supporting the business. The Barclay familys financial struggles began with a dispute over unpaid debts, leading to the loss of The Telegraph and Yodel. The Very Group, with four million customers and £2 billion in annual revenue, was considered the familys crown jewel. Despite reporting losses and carrying significant debt, the new ownership aims to strengthen growth and improve technology and customer experience.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story.
