Last week, in announcing Nitin Passi’s intention to step down, he said that “Missguided has made substantial operational progress since receiving new investment at the end of 2021, placing us on a sounder footing in a very short space of time. That work means we’re now in a position to accelerate plans to explore strategic options for the business”.
