POLICY WIRE — London, United Kingdom — The owners of the struggling discount retailer Poundland have appointed three restructuring specialists to the company’s board. This move comes as the business prepares for a potential sale or a formal filing for administration, which could occur within the coming days.

Management has engaged consultants from Interpath to assist with a potential bid. This development highlights an increasingly tense situation between the company’s leadership and its owners regarding the future direction of the retail chain.

Poundland is currently engaged in takeover discussions with several interested parties, including the Martin Property Group and Modella, the owner of TG Jones. While the threat of administration looms over the business, advisers are reportedly still working to secure a solvent deal that would prevent such an outcome.
