OC&C advises Warburg Pincus & Reiss on recent stake sale to Next

Tuesday 17 October 2023 | News

After recently providing sell-side support to Warburg Pincus & Reiss, we are delighted to congratulate them on their successful stake sale to Next. This sale of Warburg Pincus’s stake comes after a period of robust and sustained growth for the international brand.

Since its initial store opening in Bishopsgate in 1971, the British modern fashion house has evolved into a highly esteemed retail success. From its birthplace in London to now present in over 18 countries and 266 points of sale, Reiss is synonymous with being timeless, authentic and with a focus on quality. A truly global brand, Reiss offers a complete wardrobe.

As Reiss embarks on this new era of ownership, we extend our best wishes for its continued success.
