From the mail -
fashion retailer plans £500m flotation
Hailed as the next Asos, online fashion retailer Boohoo has increased its workforce by 75 per cent in the past two years and plans a £500 million float in 2014.
The Manchester-based, family-backed firm is an entirely online retailer targeting the under-25s with its own-brand clothing, shoes, accessories and jewellery. The site offers a new trend every week, helping to boost repeat visitors.
Sales surged by 132 per cent to £67.2million in its last financial year to February. Profits increased from £249,000 to £3.2million.
Co-founders and joint chief executives Mahmud Kamani and Carol Kane both had experience of supplying the fashion market as wholesalers before setting up Boohoo in 2006. Kane said: ‘It’s about newness all of the time.’
UK sales increased 68 per cent to £43.8million, while international sales rose from £2.9million to £23.5million.
Boohoo, which files accounts under parent company name Wasabi Frog, saw international sales account for 35 per cent of turnover.
Earlier this month, Boohoo, which advertised heavily in 2013, celebrated its first year in the US with a star-studded viewing party at singer Beyonce’s Los Angeles concert.
Kamani and Kane, who also export to New Zealand and Canada, are now targeting France and Germany for growth.

Like the figures :-))
Chief executive officer John Walsh tells Shares that while RM2 should make a small profit in 2014, he classifies the upcoming year as a ‘growth’ period. He reckons the business will make $75 million revenue, rising to $250 million in 2015 and $500 million in 2016. ‘It will be 2015 when we really hit the ground running and start to generate significant cash by the end of that year,’ adds Walsh.

Know nothing about them halifax, but if it was an IPO I notice a few warnings about that they will not all perform.

dc quite right Aerobox was a new issue which tried to take on the big boys in the airline container business needless to say they ended up in their own box, plastic is more expensive than wood.

RM2 seems to have tested the market, they are in with the big boys and are without looking it up, I think a 6/7 year old company.

RM2 looks quite interesting.
Their website leaves much to be desired though!
According to the LSE, the Admissions document is available to download from their (RM2) website - I beg to differ!
