Jack Wills Ltd to reconsider its future
In 2019, fashion retailer, Jack Wills, appointed advisors to look at options
for the future of the business. This included the possible sale of the
business. Since 2017, the retailer has suffered from falling sales and has
used up a £20m cash injection from owners, Bluegem
Capital. 5
Rumours suggest that Jack Wills is suffering from poor working capital. It
has already asked its landlords to reduce store rental costs in an effort to
reduce its fixed costs. Jack Wills’ suppliers have also been affected by the
problems at the business, with each store reducing the amount of buffer
stock held. Suppliers have been asked to extend the trade
credit period. Jack Wills has negotiated an increased overdraft facility with its bank, HSBC.

Jack Wills was not the only retailer to face difficulties on the UK high
street. In 2019, upmarket retailers Pretty Green and Karen Millen, both
failed as high street stores, and continued to lose footfall to online
retailers such as Boohoo.com and ASOS.
