To help the retail industry through one of its toughest periods, there will be a key debate at our corporate finance events this year. Recently a Birmingham-based team advised on a deal which saw one of Britain’s oldest shoe shop chains bought by a Dutch retail giant.
Clearwater Corporate Finance was appointed advisors to Macintosh Retail on its acquisition of Jones Bootmaker. The purchase is to add 93 stores to the Dutch firm’s portfolio.
The deal is expected to complete in April and will see Jones Bootmaker aim to open 15 more stores in the UK over the next three years. The firm will also invest in a new website to increase online sales. To capitalise on the rise in retail internet sales, Jones are creating a separate distribution centre specifically for online sales.
