danl90, ragtrade - you're as bad as each other. Each of your trying to score points of one another.

We're all invested here. It's about different opinions and respecting difference. It's not about who's right and who's wrong. For me, it's about learning from each other.

ragtrade - I think you may be too personally involved here. You want Debenhams to continue to do wholesale because that's best for you and your business. You need to step back from your own business interests and understand that Boohoo may not run Debenhams marketplace in the same way as it was done in the past.

danl90 - you may need to learn to read between the lines of what people say on here. Then you'll be able to understand where they're coming from. This is a skill worth learning for life, business, shares and investments.

Jamescosta - I think Bablake means the media are against the Kamani family and give them a hard time.

Jamescosta - danl90 is being sarcastic, it's tongue in cheek so to speak. You need to read danl90's past comments with ragtrade and then you'll understand.

ragtrade - levi's are already doing this with the Hut. Levi's are one of the brands on the Hut, so no reason they won't do the same with Debenhams.

Debenhams were seen as a high market Department Store some decades ago, so there's no reason they can't be seen like that again.

ragtrade - we'll agree to disagree.

You see it as a herculean task. I don't. Boohoo will do it in their own time and pace. They can start with a few of their own brands and build from there. I would think they'll keep each brand's separate website as well as putting them on the Debenhams Marketplace.

Wishing you every success with Regatta and all your other enterprises too.

ragtrade - wow you're CEO of Regatta, well done you.

You don't get rid of your own website, you keep your own website and sell through Debenhams marketplace website too.

Debenhams marketplace website is about getting your product to a bigger audience than you can do through your own website. This is what you're paying for having access to a much larger audience on Debenhams marketplace website.

ragtrade, Clarks, Calvin Klein and many more will have sold through Debenhams in the past too. These are also on the Hut brands. There'll be loads of Brands on the Hut who'll want to sell through Debenhams too. Look through the list of brands on the Hut. There's hundreds and hundreds of them and they certainly won't restrict themselves to the Hut marketplace only.

ragtrade - for example, no doubt in the past the likes of Alessi sold their items through Debenhams and Le Creuset too. These are both on the Hut brands.

ragtrade - you mentioned Regatta. They already have their own website so I don't see a problem with them partnering with Debenhams when they are already doing what's needed for their own website.

I don't agree with your assessment of retailers choosing the Hut only. Retailers will want to sell their products through any sites/marketplaces where they think they'll get sales. I'm sure there are plenty of brands in the Hut list that would be happy to sell their products through Debenhams too.

ragtrade - here are all the brands selling on the Hut - maybe some of them will want to sell on Debenhams too.

Kayjay - positive thinking for 2% rise tomorrow.

Kayjay66 - looks like blue to me.

ragtrade - clothing and beauty to start, keep it simple and then add on as necessary. I don't see it as the herculean task you see.

ragtrade, danl90 - John Lyttle said he would have Debenhams website marketplace up and running between March and May 2021. All he has to do is keep the beauty running, add Karen Millen, Coast, Oasis, Warehouse, to have it up and running. Then do any further add-ons from there whether they be own brands or partnership brands. All Boohoo brands have always had their own separate management and design teams so they don't overlap in any way.

Andrew Wade, analyst at joint house broker Jefferies, said that while the brands, Burton, Wallis and Dorothy Perkins, were not viewed as the jewels in the crown of Arcadia, they nevertheless generated more than £500m of annual sales between them.

“These acquisitions would be very much consistent with Boohoo's successful approach to date, and we would view the brands as a good fit within the group,” he said in a note to clients.

From FT article this morning:

“Sir Philip acquired Arcadia for £850m in 2002, a year when Asos’s revenues were just £4.1m and Boohoo did not yet exist.”
