British retail magnate Philip Green’s Arcadia, which owns Topshop and many other British fashion brands, said it was working on a number of contingency options to secure its future after suffering heavy losses during the CCP virus pandemic.

“We are aware of the recent media speculation surrounding the future of Arcadia,” the company said in response to UK media reports that it is on the brink of collapse and 13,000 jobs are at risk.
