A major Glasgow fashion retailer has said it plans to appoint administrators. 

Hundreds of jobs could be at risk as the owner of Ted Baker filed a motion to appoint administrators to the ailing high street retailer.

Authentic Brands Group, which bought Ted Baker in 2022, said that No Ordinary Designer Label (NODL), the company which trades as Ted Baker, had built up “a significant level of arrears”.

It comes weeks after the end of its partnership with Dutch firm AARC, which ran Ted Baker’s shops and online business in Europe.

The arrears were built up as the business faced tough trading last year, and during the partnership with AARC.

Ted Baker walked away from the AARC deal in January after it claimed its partner had failed to meet its promise to inject cash into the business.

Ted Baker, which was created in 1987, opened its first store in Glasgow in 1988.

It comes after we reported in January that the retailer closed down its shop in the city's Princess Square.

Bosses at the shopping centre confirmed the store had closed after 36 years.

The retailer currently has concessions in Frasers on Buchanan Street and John Lewis in Buchanan Galleries.

John McNamara, chief strategy and transition officer for Authentic Brands Group, said: "Despite our tireless efforts, the damage done during a period under AARC in which NODL built up a significant level of arrears was too much to overcome.

“We wish that there could have been a better outcome for the Ted Baker employees and stakeholders.

“We remain focused on securing a new partner to uphold and grow the Ted Baker brand in the UK and Europe where it began.”

In its statement Authentic did not reveal any details of cuts to jobs or shop numbers.

Ted Baker runs more than 80 shops and concessions in the UK, and in the year ending in January 2022 – the most recent accounts available for the firm – NODL employed 1,288 people. It is unclear how many it employs today.
