Fashion firm In The Style rescued from administration
Fast fashion brand In The Style has been snapped up in a rescue deal after falling into administration.
It has been bought by Alps Sourcing Limited – an entity linked to previous owner Baaj Capital – in a move which has secured the future of 87 jobs.
It comes after advisers at FTS Recovery were appointed as administrators for the online retail brand last week.
Administrators said the company collapsed into insolvency after coming under pressure from 'significant debt', which led to cash flow issues and affected its suppliers.
The Manchester-based company, which was founded in 2013 by Adam Frisby, was worth as much as £105 million after floating on the stock market in 2021.
However, the company came under pressure from shoppers returning to the high street and was sold to Baaj for around £1 million, narrowly avoiding administration, in 2023.
Marco Piacquadio, director of FTS Recovery and joint administrator, said: 'Since being brought in to help, our focus has been to seek to rescue as many elements of the business as possible.
'It is always difficult trying to achieve a rescue against the backdrop of a relatively high-profile matter, particularly where elements of the brand and goodwill are under daily scrutiny.
'We are really pleased to have secured this outcome and to have rescued so many jobs.
'It is hoped that this rescue will allow the new owners the platform to work again with key stakeholders in the future.
'This sale marks a turning point in the company's fortunes and an opportunity to return it to a position of profitability and financial stability.'

Altman-Backed Coco Robotics Raises $80 Million for Delivery Bots
Coco Robotics, an urban delivery startup using small autonomous robots, has secured $80 million in new funding from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and other investors, Bloomberg reported Wednesday. The financing round was led by venture capital firm SNR, with participation from Pelion Venture Partners, Offline Ventures, and Max Altman, Sam's brother. The latest investment brings Coco's total raised capital to over $110 million. The company did not disclose a new valuation. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 7 Warning Sign with DASH. Founded in 2020 and formally known as Cyan Robotics Inc., the Santa Monica-based startup deploys about 1,300 cooler-sized electric robots across cities including Miami, Chicago, Los Angeles and Helsinki. The devices deliver food and small packages and are integrated into logistics platforms from Uber Technologies Inc. (UBER) and DoorDash Inc. (DASH, Financials). Coco also works directly with merchants and recently deepened its partnership with OpenAI. Under a March agreement, the company uses OpenAI's language and vision models alongside its own software stack to help its robots navigate obstacles and make real-time decisions. The two firms also share data from delivery routes to train AI systems. However, CEO Zach Rash said Sam Altman was not involved in structuring that collaboration. Coco is one of several startups racing to bring robotics to last-mile delivery logistics, a segment where cost-cutting and speed remain key challenges. Despite the sector's volatility, investors are betting that Coco's full-stack software and early commercial traction can differentiate it in a growing market.

Home Depot Targeted in Los Angeles Immigration Raids
The Home Depot, Inc. (NYSE:HD) is one of the best Dow stocks to invest in. Recently, the company has become a focal point in the recent federal immigration raids and the protests that followed in Los Angeles. On June 6, federal agents targeted a Home Depot in the Westlake area, along with other sites like Ambiance Apparel in downtown L.A., resulting in dozens of arrests. The arrests near The Home Depot, Inc. (NYSE:HD) involved day laborers hired by the store's customers, such as homeowners and contractors who often rely on undocumented workers for home repairs and construction. A The Home Depot, Inc. (NYSE:HD) spokesperson confirmed that the company was not informed about the raids beforehand and was not involved in the enforcement actions. The Atlanta-based retailer now faces challenges as its stores have become common targets for raids, which may discourage customers. On June 9, Home Depot's shares fell 0.6%, closing at $36.20.
