I spoke to Karen Hoggan BBC Business about New Look’s latest results and how it must focus its efforts on capturing 25-34 year old shoppers, instead of trying to lure away millennials that have become loyal to online pureplays @ASOS and boohoo bbc.co.uk/news/business-…

A terrible day for retail investors: of 50 UK listed retailers, 41 fell, just 9 increased, 1 no change (suspended). Mothercare biggest gainer thanks to breathing space given by lenders. Moss Bros biggest loser after profit warning

No surprise that New Look’s CVA was voted for by 98% of its creditors but closing just 10% of its stores is not enough - the retailer must make its store base more comparable to the likes of H&M and Primark and ensure that it has the right stores in the right locations

So many people waiting for the opening of New Look’s new store on Oxford Street... Although at least 75% of those waiting were staff

I spoke to The Guardian about Ted Baker’s success in 2017 theguardian.com/business/2018/…

.Grinklin’s £6 standard UK delivery charge is a bit pricey, albeit quick (2-3 working days). In comparison, WHISTLES’s standard UK delivery is free and takes 3-5 days and UK next weekday is £6. Can’t even click & collect Grinklin so no alternative for shoppers

.Carpetright UK’s pain stems from its competition. Read Emily Stella’s comments in our latest press release client.globaldata.com/static/PR1604_…

.boohoo, like @ASOS, has launched a #visualsearch technology function allowing shoppers to search products using screenshots and photos, though this doesn’t seem to be available on the app yet. boohoo & @ASOS are really tapping into consumer behaviour. Plus, it actually works.

Another retail #CVA, but new investment could lead to FRASERS recovery. Read my thoughts here: bit.ly/2jlqcVU
