  • Super-Rich Get Richer by David Teather the Rich Keep Getting Richer
    Super-rich get richer by David Teather The rich keep getting richer. According to the latest Forbes ranking of the world’s richest people, there are now a record 946 dollar billionaires around the world. They have made their money from everything from telecoms to steel to Chinese food. For the 13th year in a row, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates was the richest person in the world. His personal fortune rose $6bn last year to $56bn (£29bn). His friend, the investment expert Warren Buffett, was the second richest. His fortune increased by $10bn during the year to reach $52bn. Both Mr Gates and Mr Buffett give a percentage of their fortunes to charity. Third richest is the Mexican telecoms entrepreneur Carlos Slim Helu, who added $19bn to his wealth, and now has $49bn. The total wealth of all the people on the list grew by 35% during the year to $3.5 trillion as a result of rising property prices, commodities and stock markets. Luisa Kroll who helped to compile the list at Forbes said it was “an extraordinary year”. On the previous list there were just 793 billionaires. The richest Briton on the list is the Duke of Westminster, Gerald Cavendish Grosvenor, at number 55. Grosvenor inherited much of his wealth and is one of the UK’s wealthiest landowners. He is said to be worth $11bn. Sir Philip Green, the retail entrepreneur who controls British Home Stores and Topshop owner Arcadia is the second richest Briton at number 104 on the list. Sir Philip, 55, has $7bn.

  • Britain's Ruthless High Street Leaves No Room for Stragglers Like BHS We
    29/05/2019 Britain's ruthless High Street leaves no room for stragglers like BHS We give a voice to experts. Donate now to help us spread facts, not fiction. Donate now Academic rigour, journalistic flair Britain’s ruthless High Street leaves no room for stragglers like BHS April 25, 2016 3.44pm BST Hitting the buffers. EPA/ANDY RAIN Britain’s ruthless High Street leaves no room for stragglers like BHS April 25, 2016 3.44pm BST Department store BHS has gone into administration after failing to find a buyer. It is Author a worrying time for more than 10,000 employees and could be viewed as another piece of evidence that the UK high street is in terminal decline. Retailers have been battered by the onslaught of changing consumer patterns, online retailing and out-of- town shopping. There are grains of truth in this, but at its core, this is a tale of a Leigh Sparks business being out-competed by smarter, nimbler rivals over a number of years. Professor of Retail Studies, Institute for Retail Studies, University of Stirling BHS, formerly British Home Stores, became a town centre stalwart after opening its first shop in Brixton back in 1928. More recently, the brand has been struggling. Sir Philip Green bought it in 2000 for £200m but sold it last year for £1 and wrote off some of its debt. That alone hints at longstanding and ongoing trading difficulties, exacerbated by a debt burden, including in its pension fund. A rent reduction agreed by landlords earlier this year has obviously not done the trick, again pointing to a problem with fundamentals.

  • A Historical Look at the Shops – Past and Present in the Colchester Town Centre Area
    A HISTORICAL LOOK AT THE SHOPS – PAST AND PRESENT IN THE COLCHESTER TOWN CENTRE AREA 1 INTRODUCTION Having written about walking around our town and others over Christmas and the month of January, looking at churches in Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk, the weekend of 1st and 2nd February 2014, saw me writing and photographing the main shops in our town of Colchester and trying to find out the National History of the businesses. So here is my story again …… 99p STORE (84-86 Culver Street East) 99p Stores Ltd. is a family run business founded in January 2001 by entrepreneur Nadir Lalani, who opened the first store in the chain in Holloway, London, with a further three stores opening later that year. In 2002, Lalani decided to expand the business throughout the UK and has rapidly developed 99p Stores, operating a total of 129 stores as of March 2010 and serving around 1.5 million customers each week, undercutting their main rival Poundland by a penny. As of mid-2009 the company offered more than 3,500 different product lines throughout its stores. Most of their stores are based in the south of the UK, although there are stores as far north as Liverpool and Hartlepool. The chain saw accelerated store expansion upon the collapse of Woolworths Group, where they took the opportunity to acquire 15 of these former stores, increasing their estate to 79 at that time. Landlords are now regarding 99p Stores as an anchor tenant due to the significant number of customers one of their stores can bring to a location.

  • 10 Industry Developments That Shaped the Decade
    10 industry developments that shaped the decade 23 December 2009 | Source: Joe Ayling Having delivered apparel and footwear industry news for the past decade, just-style takes a reflective look through its archives to highlight ten key themes that have helped shape the apparel industry over the last 10 years. view image 1. China quotas The defining moment for apparel sourcing came on 31 December 2004, when quotas between member countries of the World Trade Organization ( WTO ) were lifted. The measure was aimed at levelling the playing field for supplier countries, but a rapid drop in prices meant the EU and US dramatically increased their clothing imports from China. Faced with a surge in shipments from China, both the US and EU lost no time in making significant use of the textile special safeguard provision built into China's WTO accession agreement. While the US restrictions went without a hitch , a delay in application of the EU's plan to introduce a phased quota system limiting annual growth in Chinese textile and apparel imports resulted in 87m garments getting stuck in customs posts around the world - the so-called Bra Wars shambles . This was only resolved after new regulations were introduced to release the blocked products. 2. Sportswear battle The past decade has seen much consolidation in the sporting goods marketplace. The spending started in 2003, when Nike snapped up trendy pump producer Converse for US$305m. The footwear brand signalled a migration towards fashion for Nike. Two years later German firm Adidas Group snapped up Reebok for EUR3.1bn.

  • Statement from Sir Terence Conran's Family
    Statement from Sir Terence Conran’s family 12 September 2020 "It is with great sadness we announce British designer, retailer and restaurateur Sir Terence Conran passed away peacefully today at his Barton Court home aged 88. He was a visionary who enjoyed an extraordinary life and career that revolutionised the way we live in Britain. A proud patriot, Sir Terence promoted the best of British design, culture and the arts around the world and at the heart of everything he did was a very simple belief that good design improves the quality of people's lives. From the late forties to the present day, his energy and creativity thrived in his shops, restaurants, bars, cafes and hotels and through his many design, architecture and furniture making businesses. Founding The Design Museum in London was one of his proudest moments and through its 1 endeavours he remained a relentless champion of the importance of education to young people in the creative industries. Sir Terence enjoyed a remarkable life to the full and always maintained that his work never felt like a job - everything he did for business he would have done for pleasure. In his private life he was adored by his family and friends and we will miss him dearly. It gives us great comfort to know that many of you will mourn with us but we ask that you celebrate Terence's extraordinary legacy and contribution to the country he loved so dearly." – ENDS – CLICK HERE FOR PRESS IMAGES CLICK HERE FOR BIOGRAPHY CLICK HERE FOR DESIGN TIMELINE Notes to Editor PRESS ENQUIRIES: Matt Riches E: [email protected] M: +44 (0)7812 072 759 Rioco Green, Senior Media & PR Manager, the Design Museum E: [email protected] M: +44 (0)7801 355012 BIOGRAPHY 1931 Born in Kingston upon Thames 1948 Enrolled in Central School of Arts & Crafts 1949 Shared a studio in London’s East End with Eduardo Paolozzi.
