LONDON, Sept 17 (Reuters) - British clothing retailer Next
is looking for small acquisition opportunities thrown up
by the coronavirus pandemic, its boss said on Thursday.
"I don't think you'll see an enormous deal go through but we
are looking for active opportunities...in particular certain
platform type opportunities," Chief Executive Simon Wolfson told
Reuters.
In May, Next expanded its beauty business by taking on five
former Debenhams beauty departments, while this month it agreed
terms with Lbrands to set up a joint venture selling Victoria’s
Secret and Pink products under licence in the UK and Ireland.
