In a filing to the London Stock Exchange, Frasers Group says it has acquired a 28.7% holding in the Australian-based fashion marketplace, MySale plc., which connects global buyers and sellers to Australian and New Zealand e-commerce sites.
Fraser’s Group explained in the filing: “This creates an opportunity for a strategic partnership whereby end of line Group products can be cleared via an established clearance channel. This pipeline will be further enhanced by the benefits of counter seasonality between the European and Australian climates.”
