Harvey Norman appoints Savills to support UK rollout

Australian retailer Harvey Norman has appointed Savills to support its growth across the UK.

The retailer – which specialises in furniture, home appliances, and electronics – is looking to open a minimum of 10 stores over the next three years.

Savills is seeking out-of-town units ranging between 40,000 sq ft and 60,000 sq ft, or between 25,000 sq ft and 30,000 sq ft with a mezzanine.

Ideal properties will be located in retail parks or roadside locations, or in major national conurbations.

Harvey Norman currently operates one UK store at Merry Hill and is set to open its second at The Gracechurch Centre in Sutton Coldfield next year. Internationally, the brand has over 300 stores across 8 countries.
