90 jobs are on the line at fashion brands acquired by Frasers Group from JD Sports in December, according to reports in the Retail Gazette.
Redundancy consultations are said to have begun at a number of the businesses that were snapped up in the £47.5 million deal.
The Shirebrook-based business swooped for premium fashion brands including Base Childrenswear, Choice, Clothingsites (including Brown Bag Clothing), Cricket, Giulio, Kids Cavern, Missy Empire, Nicholas Deakins, Pretty Green, Prevu Studio, Rascal Clothing, Tessuti (including Xile), Scotts, Watch Shop and Topgrade Sportswear (including Get The Label).
It followed an acquisitive year for the company, with purchases of Missguided, I Saw It First and Coventry Building Society Arena.
Retail Gazette notes that some of those affected have been offered work at Frasers Group’s Derbyshire HQ.
