Barratts

We supported Duff & Phelps Administrators in the trading strategy of Barratts Shoes and the closure of the part of the retail chain that was not sold to Pavers shoes in the UK, Eire and Channel Islands. On behalf of the administrator we made recommendations on stock purchases of continuity stock with a cost value of £1m to ensure sales could be maximised through this difficult trading period.

The company went from a failing, unhappy and panic-run business to a stable, happy business, with engaged teams producing positive sales within the three months Amanda was there, contributing to the business being sold before being forced into administration.
