Henri-Lloyd is expanding its UK retail presence with the opening of a new store at Gunwharf Quays, Portsmouth, on Thursday 11th June.
Located on the edge of The Solent – one of the UK’s most popular sailing areas – Portsmouth is a natural home for the brand, with a strong sailing heritage and an active watersports community. The new store will bring Henri-Lloyd’s technical and lifestyle collections closer to customers who live and work by the water.
The new store will feature a curated mix of current performance collections alongside archive pieces. The space reflects the brand’s heritage and ongoing evolution, presenting Henri-Lloyd in a way that connects past and present through products built for life on the water.
Gunwharf Quays is a major waterfront retail and leisure destination overlooking Portsmouth Harbour and adjacent to the Historic Dockyard. Its maritime setting and high visitor footfall make it a strategic location for the brand.
Henri-Lloyd’s new address will be:
Unit 104, Canal Side, Gunwharf Quays, Portsmouth, Hampshire, PO1 3FA
Henri-Lloyd’s Head of Retail, Stephen Ormerod, says “We’re excited to open in Portsmouth, one of the UK’s leading sailing and coastal retail destinations. We already have a strong customer base in the area, and we look forward to showcasing both our current and archive collections to anyone passionate about life on the water.”
The Portsmouth store will compliment Henri-Lloyd’s current portfolio of stores on the south coast including Lymington, Salcombe, Dartmouth, and Cowes on the Isle of Wight.
