12 Jul 2024 --- The Body Shop may soon have a new owner thanks to a consortium led by British tycoon Mike Jatania. According to Bloomberg, people familiar with the matter say Jatania’s investment firm, Aurea Holding, is engaged in exclusive talks to buy the struggling UK cosmetics retailer after trumping rival bidders during an auction. Sources say Charles Denton, former CEO of fragrance and beauty brands Molton Brown, is also part of the consortium.
