History

In 1993, Oliver Tress, aged 25, opened the first Oliver Bonas store on Fulham Road in west London.[2] He initially sourced products from trade shows around the country.[2] On its first Saturday trading, the shop made £1,000 worth of sales.[2]

The chain was named after Tress's then-girlfriend, Anna Bonas, the cousin of Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex's ex-girlfriend Cressida Bonas.[2]

In June 2020, the chain secured £3.5 million of additional funding from HSBC as part of the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme.[4]

As of July 2023, Oliver Bonas has 1,500 employees and 83 shops across the UK and Ireland.[2] Revenues were £92.8 million in the 2021 financial year and pre-tax profits came in at £7.5 million.[2]
