UK: Bhs On Target To Eclipse £60 Million Pre-Tax Profit Goal
Leading British high street department store chain Bhs is on target for profits of up to £100 million following its purchase by entrepreneur Phillip Green last year. When Green bought the chain from Terence Conran's Storehouse Group for £219m 18 months ago it was reporting losses of £16m. However, its rapid recovery could now lead to a stock market flotation, with Bhs being valued at up to £1 billion.
