THE COMPANY

Secret Sales Group Ltd is a globally unique Marketplace Business running Trading Platforms based in the UK, Germany, The Netherlands/ Belgium, Sweden and Spain, specifically built for Fashion, Sportswear, Homeware (Soft) & Beauty at affordable prices through a market-leading all-new digital Outlet proposition.

Brands & Full-price Retailers often see third-party clearance as a necessary evil. Aside from the limited amount of clearance on their own channels, clearance is typically viewed as a negative thing; eroding margins, undermining brand equity and damaging to full-price sales. Additionally, clearance through third parties can be seen as brand erosive.

Serial Retail entrepreneurs Chris Griffin and Matt Purt acquired Secret Sales in March 2020, moving the business from a UK-only antiquated members-only flash sales site to a dedicated marketplace. Products are displayed with complementary brand adjacencies, away from cluttered listings associated with traditional marketplaces creating a technology and marketing-led proposition that acts as an efficient extension of a fashion brand’s e-commerce operation. At this time they also set up LRG Online Ltd as the Parent Company, to then drive International Growth and expansions through Acquisition.

As part of this International growth project, LRG Online Ltd acquired the German based DressforLess (https://www.dress-for-less.de/) Business and Launched in March 2024. Since then and as we annualise the German market site, the DressforLess platform now drives over 23% of Total LRG Online Ltd Sales and 32% of what The UK market drives annually.
