Shop Direct

At Shop Direct Home Shopping, you can skip the lineups. The Shop Direct Group, one of the UK's major shop-at-home retailers, distributes brand-name garments and footwear, appliances and gadgets, jewelry, toys, and other items through its websites and catalogs (more than 9 million distributed annually).

The business was known as Littlewoods Shop Direct Group until a corporate rebranding to Shop Direct Group in May 2008. It was founded as a result of the combination of the previous Littlewoods and Shop Direct firms. The company changed its name to Shop Direct in 2013, eliminating the 'group' from its moniker. In 2020, Shop Direct changed its name to The Very Group.

Littlewoods, Woolworths, Isme, Very.co.uk, and K&Co are just a few of the retail brands that make up its home-shopping division. Shop Direct provides overstock items as well as a variety of financial services through its 25+ Littlewoods Clearance stores. Sir David and Sir Frederick Barclay, billionaire brothers, own the company that used to be known as Littlewoods Shop Direct Home Shopping.
