Sir Philip Green is one of the most successful businessmen in Britain. He is the owner of Arcadia Group, which owns a number of high street brands including Topshop, Dorothy Perkins, Burton, Evans, Wallis and Miss Selfridge.

However, in recent years, Arcadia has struggled financially. In 2016, BHS collapsed into administration, with the loss of 11,000 jobs. Green was accused of asset-stripping BHS and of taking money out of the company before it went bust.

The collapse of BHS was a major blow to the British high street. It was one of the largest retailers in the country, and its closure left a number of shopping centres and high streets across the country empty.

The collapse of BHS also raised questions about the future of the high street. Many retailers are struggling to compete with online retailers, and the high street is increasingly dominated by coffee shops and restaurants.

Sir Philip Green has been a vocal critic of the government's handling of the economy. He has also been accused of being out of touch with the concerns of ordinary people.

In 2019, Green was knighted by the Queen. However, the honour was met with widespread criticism, with many people arguing that he did not deserve it.

The inside story of Sir Philip Green is a story of success, failure and controversy. He is a complex character, and his story is a reflection of the changing face of the British economy.

The Early Years

Sir Philip Green was born in 1952 in Croydon, south London. His father was a tailor, and his mother was a housewife. Green left school at the age of 15 and began working in his father's shop.

In 1972, Green started his own business, selling clothes from a market stall in East London. The business was successful, and within a few years, Green had opened a number of shops across London.

In 1988, Green bought Arcadia Group, which owned a number of high street brands including Topshop, Dorothy Perkins, Burton, Evans, Wallis and Miss Selfridge.

Under Green's leadership, Arcadia Group became one of the most successful retail groups in the UK. Green expanded the group's portfolio of brands and opened new stores across the country.

The Collapse Of BHS

In 2016, BHS collapsed into administration, with the loss of 11,000 jobs. Green was accused of asset-stripping BHS and of taking money out of the company before it went bust.

The collapse of BHS was a major blow to the British high street. It was one of the largest retailers in the country, and its closure left a number of shopping centres and high streets across the country empty.

The collapse of BHS also raised questions about the future of the high street. Many retailers are struggling to compete with online retailers, and the high street is increasingly dominated by coffee shops and restaurants.

The Aftermath

The collapse of BHS has had a significant impact on Green's reputation. He has been accused of being out of touch with the concerns of ordinary people and of being a ruthless businessman.

In 2019, Green was knighted by the Queen. However, the honour was met with widespread criticism, with many people arguing that he did not deserve it.

The inside story of Sir Philip Green is a story of success, failure and controversy. He is a complex character, and his story is a reflection of the changing face of the British economy.
