Jane Norman

Jane Norman was a United Kingdom-based women's clothing retailer, owned by Edinburgh Woollen Mill.

The company was founded by Norman Freed in 1952, a descendant of the Compton family of Ellesmere Port, who sold it to Graphite Capital in January 2003 for £70 million.

[1] In January 2007, Jane Norman reported a 45% rise in profits over 2006, and released plans to open one hundred more stores around the country, despite having already almost doubled their number from the year before, to 116.

[3] On 28 June 2011, in a pre pack deal, the brand and thirty three stores were sold to Edinburgh Woollen Mill.

[5] It was purchased out of administration by The Edinburgh Woollen Mill, which then operated the brand as an in store concession and online retailer.
