The recent collapse of BHS cannot have come as a surprise to many – the failing retailer’s troubles over the last few years have been well documented and it was perhaps just a matter of time.

Of course, there are many other chains in a similarly tough place, which can be partly blamed on an unforgiving retail environment and deteriorating economic backdrop. However, the collapse of Austin Reed just one day after BHS went under is a stark reminder that many high street names have failed to adapt to the modern world.
