TFG London has reported a 16% rise in turnover year on year to £377.5m for the year ended 29 March 2025, as profits were boosted by the acquisition of White Stuff, based on Companies House filings posted on Saturday (20 December).

TFG-owned womenswear brand Whistles has joined forces with Australian footwear and accessories brand Essen for an autumn/winter 25 footwear collection.

White Stuff brand director Julia Monro has taken on the marketing and creative direction of Hobbs, Whistles, Phase Eight and White Stuff as TFG London chief brand officer.
