Sky news has reported that Aurora Fashions is speeding up plans to sell Coast due to the collapse of House of Fraser, where they hold a large number of concessions.
Pricewaterhouse Coopers are to help Aurora with the sale.
A spokesperson for Coast told Sky News: “We have been working with PwC on a potential sale on an ongoing basis for the past 18 months, so this is nothing new but merely a continuation of the process.”
