Retail Disrupted

How Fortnum & Mason Is Redefining Luxury for the Next-Generation Shopper


Listen Later

What does "luxury" mean when your brand is over 300 years old, your customers span Gen Z to Royal Households, and your products have to delight both online and in-store? In this Retail Disrupted episode, Fortnum & Mason's Director of Buying for Hampers, Fashion, Beauty & Home, Jo Newton, lifts the lid on how a heritage icon stays radically relevant.

You'll learn: • How Fortnum & Mason defines modern luxury beyond logos and price • The role of "joy" as a core KPI for products and experiences • How tight supplier relationships fuel innovation without diluting heritage • Why gifting, hampers and service are being redesigned for a new generation of luxury customers

Plus a little bit of Fortnum & Mason trivia – from Charles Dickens being a fan to the invention of the Scotch egg!

🤝 This episode is brought to you by The Richmond Retail & eCommerce Directors' Forum, where Jo will be continuing the conversation on protecting brand equity while still evolving for the future of shopping.
