Untapped growth potential

In a separate announcement on 8 November, Richard Monaghan, the chief financial officer of In The Style announced the company’s strategic review, stating the limited liquidity for the company’s shareholders and indicating an “alternative ownership structure to reflect the underlying growth potential.”

He said: “The outcome of the strategic review may or may not result in a sale of the company or some or all of the group’s business and assets. The company is not in talks with any potential offeror and is not in receipt of any approach with regard to a possible offer.”
