It was established by John Hargreaves in 1985. Matalan has 217 shops across the United Kingdom. In 2009 Hargreaves sought to sell off Matalan but failed to find buyers willing to meet the £1.5 billion price Hargreaves set.[1] Jason Hargreaves was appointed managing director in July 2013.[2] Matalan was among the companies who sourced clothes from the Rana Plaza factory in Bangladesh which collapsed, killing 1,129 people in April 2013.[3] In July 2014, they were the focus of a campaign by 38 Degrees and Labour Behind the Label, for failing to contribute to the official compensation fund co-ordinated by the ILO.[4] This was in contrast to some of their main competitors, such as Primark who contributed $9 million.[5] After pressure, they announced that they would contribute an undisclosed amount.[6] It was later revealed that they had paid £60,000 [7] in to the fund, which labour rights campaigns challenged as being an insufficient amount compared with other retailers.[8] In November 2014, Matalan sponsored a three-day event to celebrate fashion, art, photography and architecture in Liverpool, the hometown of Jason Hargreaves.[9] The event was backed by Matalan and organised by Cricket Fashion co-founder Justine Mills, and Denise Harris of SK Events.[10] Footnotes1. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/business/2010/mar/07/matalan-private-equity-buyout|title=Matalan founder John Hargreaves to trouser £250m in refinancing deal|publisher=www.theguardian.com|date=11 February 2010|accessdate=16 May 2018}} 2. ^{{cite web|url= https://www.retail-week.com/profile-matalans-new-managing-director-jason-hargreaves/5051084.article|title= Profile: Matalan's new managing director Jason Hargreaves|first=Tiffany|last=Holland|date=15 July 2013|publisher=}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/business/industries/retailing/article4159274.ece|title=Pressure intensifies on Matalan to give to Rana Plaza fund|work=The Times|accessdate=25 October 2014}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/retailandconsumer/10994022/If-Primark-can-pay-over-factory-collapse-why-cant-Matalan.html|title='If Primark can pay over factory collapse, why can’t Matalan?' - Telegraph|date=28 July 2014|work=Telegraph.co.uk|accessdate=25 October 2014}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.primark-bangladesh.com/|title=Primark Ethical Trading - Our Work in Bangladesh|work=Primark Ethical Trading|accessdate=25 October 2014}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/business/2014/jul/30/matalan-donates-rana-plaza-victims-trust-fund|title=Matalan donates to Rana Plaza victims' trust fund one day before deadline|author=Julia Kollewe|work=the Guardian|accessdate=25 October 2014}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.labourbehindthelabel.org/news/item/1263-press-release-matalan-slammed-for-trivial-compensation-payments-to-rana-plaza-victims|title=Press Release: Matalan slammed for "trivial" compensation payments to Rana Plaza victims|publisher=|accessdate=25 October 2014}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://blog.38degrees.org.uk/2014/08/08/matalan-only-60000/|title=38 Degrees - Blog - Matalan: Only £60,000|publisher=|accessdate=25 October 2014}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.drapersonline.com/news/celebration-of-style-event-kicks-off-in-liverpool/5066273.article|title=Celebration of Style event kicks off in Liverpool|first=Kirsty|last=McGregor|date=14 November 2014|publisher=Drapers Online}} 10. ^{{cite web|url= http://inspomagazine.co.uk/fashion/celebration-of-style-liverpool/|title= Celebration Of Style, Liverpool|first=S.|last=Jurga|date=19 November 2014|publisher=#INSPO}} External links{{commons category|Matalan}}
