💨 Abstract

A major UK fashion retailer with 250+ stores is considering a significant restructuring plan that could result in store closures and job cuts. The company, facing tough trading conditions and a £33.2 million pre-tax loss in 2023, has brought in advisors from PwC to develop cost-saving solutions. River Island, once a leading high street force, now faces challenges due to changing consumer preferences, increased competition, and economic uncertainty.
