Sir Phillip Green’s Arcadia Group is consolidating the logistics operations for its fashion brands, including Topshop and Topman, at a new automated warehouse in Daventry, Northamptonshire. The company announced plans to move Topshop and Topman’s distribution from Milton Keynes to the new facility earlier this year. Arcadia’s chief fashion group executive, Ian Grabiner, is overseeing projects to streamline shared functions across its businesses, which include Burton, Dorothy Perkins, Evans, and Miss Selfridge. In June, 75% of Arcadia’s creditors approved a CVA (Company Voluntary Arrangement), resulting in over 45 store closures and rent cuts on nearly 200 stores.
