Extract A
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. 10
