the multimillion dollar restructuring of the besen family' s retail holdings marks what mr besen yesterday termed
the logical next step in the smooth generational transition of these excellent businesses
.
the family did not set a value on the transaction, but industry sources suggested the 488 stores in the three - brand portfolio may be generating more than $ 600 million of sales a year .
there has been speculation in the fashion retailing industry for some time that the besen empire, now in its third generation, would be restructured .
this speculation intensified after march 2002 when ms milgrom' s brother daniel and his wife danielle struck out on their own and bought the venerable melbourne designer brand, house of saba, from founder joe saba .
she is highly regarded by peers and clothing suppliers alike, and last year was named retailer of the year by shopping centre landlord lend lease .
in the early 1980s, after sam gandel died, john sold his stake and shifted his family' s focus to developing what has become the giant chadstone shopping centre .
until now, ms milgrom, her father, and mother eva, brother daniel and sisters carol schwartz and debbie dadon, plus one or two external accountants or advisers to the besen family, filled the boards of the family companies .
ownership of the besen family' s joint interests in highpoint west, the besen family foundation, and the tarrawarra estate winery in the yarra valley are not affected by the changeover .
