Profile
WH Smith plc is a British travel retailer, operating in Europe, North America, the Asia Pacific and the Middle East. Predominantly operating in airports, railway stations, hospitals and motorway service stations, the company is best known as a retailer of refreshments, books, and entertainment. The company trades under a number of brands, mainly WHSmith and InMotion.
Formed by Henry Walton Smith and his wife Anna in 1792 as a news vendor in London, the company remained under the ownership of the Smith family for many years and saw large-scale expansion during the 1970s as it began to diversify into other retail categories. Following a rejected private equity takeover in 2004, the company began to focus on its core high street and travel businesses. In July 2025, the company sold its 480 high street locations to Modella Capital, who rebranded them as TGJones.
In the 1960s, the company facilitated the creation of the SBN book identifier, which later became the internationally-used ISBN.
WHSmith is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index. Wikipedia
