Brazil's Natura has sold The Body Shop, a struggling UK beauty retailer with 250 stores, to private equity firm Aurelius Group in a deal valued at $254 million. UK Secretary of State for Business and Trade, Kemi Badenoch, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis have signed a trade pact, with the UK minister praising the 'huge opportunities' from the deal. The trade pact focuses on space, semiconductors, and emerging industries, aiming to expand business opportunities between Florida and Britain. The deal is hailed as the biggest US-UK trade deal so far, tapping into an economy larger than Spain. The trade pact is seen as proof that Brexit is working, and it marks Britain's Ocado's first deal beyond grocery retail.
