design by the architects Wimperis, Simpson and Guthrie. The building also incorporates 22–27 Duke Street and 42–45 Jermyn Street. In April 1951, the Canadian businessman W. Garfield Weston acquired the store and became its chairman following a boardroom coup. In 1964, he commissioned a four-ton clock to be installed above the main entrance of the store as a tribute to its founders. Every hour, models of William Fortnum and Hugh Mason emerge and bow to each other, with chimes and 18th-century–style music playing in the background. The chimes were incorporated into Jonathan Dove's orchestral adaptation of Zeb Soanes' children's book Gaspard's Foxtrot, which depicts the clock and its figures as illustrated by James Mayhew. Since Garfield Weston's death in 1978, the store has been run by his granddaughters, Jana Khayat and Kate Weston Hobhouse. The Chief Executive Officer is Tom Athron, who joined the business in December 2020. The store underwent a £24 million refurbishment in 2007 as part of its tercentenary celebrations. In March 2012, Queen Elizabeth II, Camilla, then Duchess of Cornwall and Catherine, then Duchess of Cambridge made their first official joint visit to Fortnum & Mason. During this visit, they were each presented with their own personalised hampers. The Queen opened the Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon on the fourth floor. In November 2013, the first company's additional store was opened at St Pancras International station. The retailer has since opened stores and restaurants at Heathrow Terminal 5 in 2014 and The Royal Exchange in 2018. Fortnum & Mason opened its first standalone store outside Britain in Dubai on 21 March 2014. This store closed on 9 July 2017. On 4 April 2019, it was announced that Fortnum & Mason would open a Hong Kong store at K11 Musea in September 2019. The 7,000 square-foot space features a retail store and restaurant.
