In recent developments, TFG announced the acquisition of the @international division of JD Sports Fashion Plc in October 2024, expanding its premium UK portfolio with brands like Phase Eight, Hobbs, and Whistles; launched new store formats and digital enhancements for its @home and apparel divisions; and reported strong interim results for the six months ended September 2024, driven by credit sales growth and operational efficiencies amid economic challenges in South Africa.
