Disposition

Restructuring

We help stakeholders to maximise their cash returns from the disposal of surplus or underperforming assets.

The financial guarantees and immediate liquidity we provide are a significant benefit for administrators, who use the cash to pay creditors or
to fund restructuring activities. We also provide administrators with invaluable advice on specialised issues related to retail and wholesale businesses in administration, such as handling retention of title, shrinkage and employee affairs.

“Gordon Brothers took on all aspects of the clearance operation allowing senior management to concentrate on the financial and operational aspects of the insolvency process.”

Inventory Clearance

Every year, Gordon Brothers buys and/or sells over €5 billion of surplus merchandise on behalf of clients through in-store clearance programmes in North America and Europe.

As the world’s most sought-after inventory clearance company, Gordon Brothers is frequently called upon to help retailers and wholesalers dispose of underperforming merchandise, through tailored programmes. These are designed to turn stock into the maximum cash in the shortest period of time. Our expertise in this area is so strong that we are able to provide guaranteed results for our clients.

“The Gordon Brothers team were a pleasure to work with and helped us to achieve a brilliant result.”
Dr Wolfgang Neubert, Chief Executive, Schöps

Store Rationalisation

Each year, we undertake store closure or relocation activities in over 3,000 locations. This makes Gordon Brothers the world’s largest operator of retail events and has led to us being dubbed in the press as “the biggest retailer you’ve never heard of”.

Over the years, we have built a reputation for maximising the value of under-performing assets while protecting our clients’ brands and relationships.

The extent of our expertise in these fields means that we can often provide our clients with guaranteed results and immediate liquidity. We can look after the entire disposal process, freeing up our clients’ senior management to focus on other areas of the business.

“We had high levels of stock in the stores and our supply chain. Delivering the stores ‘broom-clean’ in such a short time seemed like ‘mission impossible’ but Gordon Brothers achieved it.”
Franz Hilburger, COO, Oviesse Kaufhalle
