The Boohoo Group has confirmed this morning that it is in talks to buy the Dorothy Perkins, Wallis and Burton brands.
The Manchester online retailer said in a statement that it was in “exclusive discussions” with the Administrators of Sir Philip Green’s Arcadia.
It added that these wouldn’t necessarily lead to an acquisition.
According to reports, Boohoo has offered around £25m for the 3 clothing brands, less than half it paid for acquiring the Debenham’s brand and website earlier this week.
Much like the Debenham’s deal, Boohoo is unlikely to retain any of Arcadia’s high street stores, or its employees.
High value spring OSR opportunity should not be missed

With the price of oilseed rape surging to a multi-year high in recent weeks and prospects looking strong for the coming year, spring-sown oilseed rape could deliver real benefits for growers in 2021.
New generation varieties are able to deliver their full potential in the shorter growing window combined with greater understanding of the crop’s management.
According to ADM Agriculture’s Head of Seed James Barlow, this means spring sown oilseed now provides the best opportunity for growers in its history, aided mainly by the hybridisation of the crop in the past decade.
THERE can’t be many houses in East Lancashire with such a rich history as Bank House in Blackburn believed to be the oldest house in the borough. Some buildings might boast a plaque to mark a former occupant or significant event but this Grade II listed building off Dukes Brow actually has two. Dating to Jacobean times, where the historic house stands was the spot of one of an important events during the English Civil War. Sir Gilbert Hoghton whose ancestral home was at Hoghton Tower, led his royalist forces against the Parliamentarian army which had taken Blackburn. On Christmas Day, 1642 he tried - and failed - to overcome the republican army by turning his cannon on to the town below.
