Company history

Barker's Management Shares Trust, an employee investment trust, was formed in 1950 in London, England. It was one of two parallel organisations whose object was the provision of income to augment the salaries of the employees of John Barker & Co Ltd, department store retailers, of Kensington, London, and its subsidiary companies. The parallel organisation was Barker's Fixed Management Shares Association Ltd. In August 1957, John Barker & Co Ltd together with Barker's Management Shares Trust were acquired by House of Fraser Ltd, department store retailers, of Glasgow, Scotland. Barker's Management Shares Trust continued to exist until at least 1971.
