gift vouchers.

Apparel retailer White Stuff is looking for a
new chairman, reports the Telegraph. According to the article, the
company is looking for a new boss to help it expand the business
overseas-“and the Nordic market seems to be brimming with
potential”.

combination of €88 million (£76 million) of new
equity, debt facilities and shares, sees Privalia extend its
