Ex-Topman MD joins Boohoo Group The former managing director of Topman, Mitch Hughes, has joined Boohoo Group as MD of its Dorothy Perkins, Wallis and Burton brands. Boohoo Group agreed to acquire Arcadia Group’s Burton, Dorothy Perkins, and Wallis brands for £25.2m in February. The fast fashion giant bought all of the ecommerce, digital assets and associated intellectual property rights, including customer data, business information and inventory, of the three brands. Boohoo Group acquired department store Debenhams for £55m in January and said the acquisition of Burton, Dorothy Perkins and Wallis would help support the new Debenhams marketplace. Hughes, who joined Arcadia in 2015 as buying director of Burton, joined Boohoo Group last month.
