The Solution
Urgent change is required at the top. There is no stronger individual to join the board of boohoo than Mike Ashley. He has a proven track record in the retail sector and can assume the role with immediate effect. Mike Lennon, who has over a decade of experience in advising corporates as well as on restructurings, with a wealth of retail sector experience, is ideally placed to support the board in a new and positive direction. Frasers firmly believes its proposed candidates will deliver the change needed and strategy to restore boohoo’s fortunes.
Recent events including boohoo’s dismal results, lack of transparency and further supply chain allegations, should leave shareholders in no doubt – Mr Kamani must go.
As soon as Mr. Ashley and Mr. Lennon are appointed as directors of boohoo and have an opportunity to assess the true state of affairs, they will:
push for total transparency. For too long, the current Board has failed to disclose to the market and to shareholders what is really happening at boohoo;
review boohoo’s financing arrangements to understand what the terms of boohoo’s refinancing actually are and consider how best to improve boohoo’s financing position;
bring to boohoo decades-long retail and logistics expertise and experience;
lead the drive to return boohoo to profitability. Since 2016, Frasers has more than doubled its profits and Mr. Ashley plans to bring this same success to boohoo;
fix boohoo’s supply chain. The scandals must end once and for all and the current Board, led by Mr. Kamani, is clearly not in a position to end these; and
return to a winning mentality at boohoo. Mr. Ashley, Mr. Lennon and Frasers continue to believe strongly in the potential of the boohoo business and its brands, but change at the top is required to realise this potential.
