Publisher's Summary

Penguin Audio presents Damaged Goods, by Oliver Shah.

In March 2015, British businessman and the chairman of Arcadia Group Sir Philip Green sold BHS for £1 to Retail Acquisitions, owned by Dominic Chappell, a serial bankrupt who filed BHS for administration shortly after. By April 2016, BHS had debts of £1.3bn, including a pensions deficit of £571m.

Damaged Goods follows Green's journey to the big time, the sale of BHS and the subsequent investigation that concluded with Green paying £363m to the Pensions Regulator.

In Damaged Goods, Oliver Shah, the award-winning journalist who first broke the story, shines a light on Green's past and Arcadia's uncertain future; this is the extraordinary account of the retail magnate Sir Philip Green's life and his relationship with the high street.

Probing first rate writing

What a great piece of investigative journalism converted into a book. Exceptionally researched yet concise with a balanced approach to the characters particularly Phillip green. Great narration. I’ve been lucky to listen to this and John Carryrou’s ‘Bad Blood’.
