CIH buying group welcomes Fenwick as it evolves its retail proposition

Combined Independents (Holdings) Ltd (CIH), the electrical buying group, part of Euronics, Europe’s largest electrical buying group, has welcomed Fenwick to its Euronics network. Founded in 1882 and operating 8 stores across the UK, Fenwick joins the group as it continues to evolve its retail proposition and customer experience, and will see the business benefit from CIH’s expertise, collective buying power, strong supplier relationships and exclusive product ranges. 

Fenwick is the UK’s largest family-owned department store group, offering a curated mix of electricals, fashion, beauty, home and lifestyle brands from both established and contemporary names. 

Catherine Newton, head of buying at Fenwick, said: “At Fenwick, we are always looking for new ways to evolve the customer experience and bring inspiring products and partnerships to our customers across the UK. Joining the CIH group reflects our continued focus on collaboration, innovation and delivering long-term value through a more connected and customer-focused retail experience. As a family-owned business with over 140 years of heritage, it is important that we continue to evolve while staying true to the quality, service and experience our customers know and love.”

Harry Kyriacou, CEO of CIH, added: “As a long-established, family-owned retailer, Fenwick shares our focus on delivering high-quality customer experiences and building strong, long-term relationships. We look forward to supporting the team with access to shared insight, supplier partnerships and opportunities to continue to evolve their retail offering through CIH membership.”

Euronics customers will be able to enjoy a programme of in-store events and top-tier hospitality when visiting Fenwick stores in Newcastle, Kingston, Brent Cross, York, Canterbury, Tunbridge Wells, Bracknell and Colchester, or when ordering from the online store, alongside access to the new MyFenwick loyalty programme, launched in September 2025 and designed to create a more personalised shopping experience.
