Gordon Brothers, the group behind Poundland, is looking to buy British shoe brand Dune, even while Poundland itself is struggling financially.
Dune's founder put the company up for sale in September 2026, and now Gordon Brothers seems interested, despite its own issues making headlines.
Poundland cash withdrawals raise job concerns
Since taking over Poundland, Gordon Brothers has reportedly pulled out a lot of cash from the business, raising concerns about job security.
Liam Byrne, the committee chair, has spoken up about how staff could be affected.
Right now, a notice of intention to appoint AlixPartners as administrators to Poundland is in the process of being extended while possible deals are considered, and everyone is watching closely to see what Gordon Brothers does next.
