3 How does the Company Operate? Boundary Mill Stores is a privately owned company which began in Colne, Lancashire in 1983 and is now the largest quality Mill Store company in the UK trading from 5 locations with sales in excess of 150m. The philosophy is simple; to offer the customer quality branded goods at discount prices of between 30%-75% of RRP. The company trades from 5 sites across the UK and has over 625,000 sq ft of floor space giving over 250 retail and manufactured brands including Marks & Spencer the opportunity to successfully clear their excess stock in Ladieswear, Menswear and Home. This concept allows the concession partners to maximise their returns on excess stock whilst retaining control of their brand values with no impact on full price sales. Other brands which have store concessions include:- A concession partnership. The use of high quality corporate fixturing and point of sale ensures that brands sit in an appropriate environment with no capital investment or running costs. The concession retains the ownership of the stock and Boundary Mill Stores allocates space on the basis of prospective or actual sales and receives a commission for the provision of the space in the retail environment and sales support services. There are no minimum rental agreements or guarantees, with a simple concession rate applied to ex VAT net sales and payment made by Boundary Mill Stores to the concessions/brands weekly. Concessions make deliveries directly to each of the five stores and a limited amount of warehouse space is allocated to the brand. Stock replenishment can either be automated via a company s own management system or by a manual system. At point of sale bar coded items are scanned and processed providing each concession with daily sales and product information. The sales information is available via the internet or on the FTP site. Boundary Mills has further enhanced the customer experience by providing cafés in each of their stores. This has encouraged shoppers to travel from further away and stay in store for longer.
