Charles Denton to Lead Bodycare Revival as Retailer Targets 200 Stores

After collapsing into administration last year, health and beauty retailer Bodycare is plotting a return to the UK high street. Charles Denton, the former head of The Body Shop and Molton Brown, has been appointed CEO and Executive Chairman to oversee a target of 200 store openings by 2031.

Denton, who led the investor group that acquired Bodycare’s intellectual property in late 2025, will work alongside Managing Director David Stern. The company’s immediate objective is to launch 25 new locations in 2026, shifting the brand toward a concept focused on community engagement and experiential shopping. This expansion will feature a new generation of Studio Stores designed to blend traditional value with interactive discovery.

Beyond the physical store rollout, the leadership team plans to pursue international growth through franchise partnerships and invest in a proprietary AI operating platform. Denton noted that the strategy aims to move beyond simple product transactions, prioritizing a mix of innovation and human connection to appeal to modern shoppers. The retailer intends to leverage this model to establish a sustainable presence, balancing its half-century heritage with a modernized approach to the health and beauty market.
