Commenting on the development, Lindsay Page, Chief Executive Officer of Ted Baker, said in a statement:
“We are delighted to announce this exciting product licence with Next to support the continued expansion of
Ted Baker’s growing childrenswear collections. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Debenhams for
their skill and hard work in establishing and developing the Ted Baker childrenswear business and we will
continue to work with them in other product categories.”
