History[edit]
Kaleidoscope was originally a division of W H Smith, and traded as its Book Club merchandise catalogue. This division was better known as BCA (Book Club Associates). In 1982 Grattan purchased both the Kaleidoscope name and the mailing list. The operation was operated from a location in Leicester with both computer and distribution resources being used in Bradford, from Grattan.
In 1985 Grattan purchased the Scotcade operation in Bridgnorth, Shropshire, Kaleidoscope relocated there and operated from with both Companies under one roof. The next few years saw the business develop and the acquisition of Aspect (a similar operation to Scotcade), which was originally based in Wetherby. This growth led to the formation of a strong Direct Mail Division. During this time Grattan, under the direction of David Jones (MD), had merged with Next [4] who were based in Leicester and managed by George Davies (retailer) - who is now synonymous with the ‘George’ brand in Asda stores. As a result of the Next site having sizeable office space Kaleidoscope returned to Leicester in 1989.
1991 saw the current owners, Otto GmbH, purchase Grattan Plc,[5] with Kaleidoscope part of this deal. The Direct Mail Division remained in Leicester, but moved to a new location in 1994-1995. In 1997 Kaleidoscope moved to Bradford wjoining the rest of the group. They occupied in a separate office space on the third floor of Anchor House, Bradford, housing the Kaleidoscope operation.
In December 2008, Otto UK became Freemans Grattan Holdings (FGH)[6] Kaleidoscope is one of their brands.
