Harold Tillman helped seal N Brown fashion deal By CITY & FINANCE REPORTER Updated: 16:51 EST, 21 December 2024 e-mail View comments One of British fashion's most influential figures is understood to have helped strike a multi-million-pound deal that secured the buyout of fashion group N Brown. Harold Tillman, the former head of fashion brand Jaeger and luxury retailer Aquascutum, arranged negotiations between retail tycoon Mike Ashley and Lord Alliance, whose family took control of N Brown in a £191 million swoop in October, according to a source. At the time of the buyout, Ashley's Frasers Group controlled just over 20 per cent of N Brown.

Ashley is thought to have approached Tillman to help discuss the buyout with Alliance, chairman of N Brown since 1968.
