Frasers boss calls for 'bold' reforms to save ailing High Street
Frasers Group's boss has called for 'bold' business rates reform to save the 'dying' High Street. Michael Murray called on the Government to slash the levy, which is paid based on the value of a commercial property. 'Town centres are dying, the system is broken and physical retail is being priced out of high streets,' Murray said. 'Retailers need radical reform, not more red tape.' The Government must seize a 'golden chance' to 'give retailers a reason to return to town centres' by easing the burden, he added. Bricks-and-mortar retailers claim they suffer an unfair business rates burden compared with online giants such as Amazon. But many warn Labour's plan to address the issue – by hitting larger commercial properties with higher taxes – will backfire. Tesco, Sainsbury's and the Co-op, as well as Frasers, have said this risks large retailers abandoning shops.

Frasers Group CEO takes seat on Hugo Boss board
Frasers Group CEO Michael Murray has joined the supervisory board of German premium and luxury fashion giant Hugo boss. The news didn't come as a surprise as it had been announced last Decembers when Hugo Boss had also revealed that Stephan Sturm was to take over as chairman. But it's a reflection of the importance of Frasers group both as a stockist of Hugo Boss products through several of its chains (such as Flannels and its department stores) and as a major shareholder in the German business. In fact, the UK group is Hugo Boss's biggest individual shareholder with almost a 20% interest in the firm. Murray said of his new boardroom seat that he's 'honoured to be joining the supervisory board, adding: 'Our long-standing collaboration with Hugo Boss is one of our most successful brand partnerships, reflecting our shared values and strong cooperation, and I am looking forward to supporting Hugo Boss in its next stage of growth.'
