Who are Melrose And Morgan
Melrose and Morgan was founded in 2004 as a home for food lovers to find high quality, seasonal and artisanal products. It has grown to two shops in the affluent London neighbourhoods of Hampstead and Primrose Hill, with those not in the area able to purchase its products online or from selected wholesalers (the hampers are a big win!).
In August 2021, Melrose and Morgan expanded to Japan and opened their first shop in Tokyo. The Tokyo team has also frequented fairs and pop-up events throughout the year.
Why we partnered
Melrose and Morgan is our perfect first venture into the food and hospitality sector.
Living in North London, the Thompson family have been around and have loved the brand for years, a feeling we share with so many loyal customers. It is a truly premium British deli, like no other on the high street, setting the trend and educating their customers on delicious dining and artisanal goodies.
With the right plan and people in place, we are confident the business will scale and the shareholders will see strong returns.
What we helped with
KHI’s involvement in Melrose and Morgan began with a strategic review for the previous owner. The review led to KHI taking control of the business, having formulated a business plan to address the business’ foundations and then to scale the business. Brought in to revolutionise the food and bring quality and taste to the forefront of the business, a new Director of Food (Mauro Mateus) was brought in.
Future Plans
Melrose and Morgan’s short-term plan is to put in place the foundations to expand whilst perfecting the offering in the existing two shops. Once the foundations are in place, the business plans to open more shops around London. The vision is for Melrose and Morgan to become Britain’s favourite premium deli and a hub for high quality food that brings people together.
