From the administrators' statement
The Company was incorporated on 27 February 1947 and commenced trading as a small Lancashire based manufacturer of ready-made curtains, scaling over time to the multi-channel homewares retailer that it is today.
Trading as Julian Charles brand, the business offers a wide range of soft furnishings including bedding, ready-made curtains, cushions, cosy throws and on-trend home decor accessories. In the last 3 years the business has extended the product offer to incorporate new homewares categories including furniture, accessories and finishing touches for the Kitchen, Bathroom, Dining Room and Garden through drop ship arrangements with UK supplier partners.
The business trades across the United Kingdom (“UK”) and Ireland from 75 sites (32 leased stores, 4 Boundary Mill concessions and 39 other concessions). Additionally, the business operates a fullyfledged e-commerce platform which contributes circa 20% of total net sales.
