Arcadia Group / Bhs (UK)

Arcadia Group is the UK's #2 clothing retailer (behind Marks & Spencer), home to a broad portfolio of chain store brands led by Top Shop and Burton. Known until the beginning of 1998 as Burton Group, the business has changed shape several times since its heyday in the Eighties. After performance slumped in the 1990s, Burton went on a crash diet, spinning off several brands including department store Debenhams to create a leaner and more focused group. In 2002, the revived and renamed business was acquired by retail entrepreneur Philip Green, whose portfolio also includes rival Bhs.
