UK-based Health & Wellness Chain, Holland & Barrett (H&B) is returning to Singapore through an exclusive partnership with DFI Retail Group, the parent company of pharmacy chains Guardian and Mannings.
Gordon Farquhar, International Managing Director at H&B said, “By combining Holland & Barrett’s wellness expertise with DFI’s strong retail presence and local market insight, we have an exciting opportunity to make trusted, science-led wellness solutions more accessible and relevant to everyday life across Asia.”
H&B exited Singapore market in March 2025 after its franchise partner Jay Gee Health (PTE) Ltd – also known as MA Supplements PTE. Ltd – abruptly closed down all its online and offline stores due to liquidation exercise.
The new partnership with DFI Retail also signifies H&B ambition to grow its business in Southeast Asia, albeit through a more reputable and established partner.
