- Shop_Direct_Group abstract "Shop Direct is a multi-brand online retailer in the United Kingdom and Ireland.[citation needed] It is based in the Speke area of the city of Liverpool, in Merseyside, England. Established in November 2005 as a result of the merger of the former Littlewoods and Shop Direct companies, the retailer was known as Littlewoods Shop Direct Group until a corporate rebranding in May 2008.[citation needed]A business group trading via several digital department stores, Shop Direct traces its roots to a variety of mail order companies in northern England, the football pools and mail order business founded by John Moores, as well as the Manchester-based home shopping business of Great Universal Stores.[citation needed] These companies were purchased by Sir David and Frederick Barclay in 2003, and a major business restructuring took place leading to a merger of two companies that had "been arch rivals for the best part of 100 years".Since the merger of what had been struggling businesses in 2005[citation needed], ongoing restructuring and modernisation of the company has resulted in Shop Direct emerging as one of the largest online retailers in the UK[citation needed]. Its traditional paper-based and phone-in orders system has been superseded by electronic commerce technology.[citation needed]The group is now amongst the largest online retailers in the UK[citation needed], with annual sales of £1.7bn[citation needed], of which 81% are online[citation needed], with almost two-fifths of those from mobile devices[citation needed].The group's main brands are Very.co.uk, Littlewoods.com, isme.com and KandCo.com. In 2009, Shop Direct also acquired the brand name of the failed Woolworths and re-established it as an online-only operation.".
