John Hargreaves is a British businessman, the founder and chairman of the UK out-of-town discount clothing and homeware chain Matalan. He went into the retail business when he was only 16, and opened the first Matalan store in Preston in 1985. Matalan now has 200 stores throughout the UK, employs over 16,000 people, and is one of the most successful retailers in the country. In April 2015, the Sunday Times estimated his net worth at £1.0 billion Hargreaves has three children, Jason, Jamie, and Maxine; and three grandchildren. Hargreaves currently resides in Monaco with his partner. This alleged non-residence in the UK has enabled him to claim that he is not liable to Capital Gains Tax on a gain of £200 million arising on the disposal of Matalan shares. This claim is being resisted by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs and the matter is subject to litigation.〔(Report of Tax Tribunal decision )〕 John Hargreaves resigned as Chairman of Matalan on 18 November 2007, less than a year after taking the company private. His resignation marked the end of a 22 year era for Matalan. Hargreaves purchased British womenswear retailer Fenn Wright Manson for an undisclosed sum on 28 March 2012. ==References== * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Hargreaves (businessman)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
