Profits at Sir Philip Green’s retail empire have plummeted 42% as the group axed more than 40 stores in the face of the brutal conditions on the high street.
Taveta Investments, the company behind Topshop-owner Arcadia, booked operating profits before goodwill, amortisation and exceptional items of £124.1m for the year to August 26, 2017.
This was down from £215.2m for the year before.
