Boohoo alters suppliers payment terms

On this episode of Talking Shop I’m joined by Alain Bejjani—former Group CEO of Middle East retail giant Majid Al Futtaim, and author of the definitive new book, NEXT: Leading Through the New Realities. Drawing on his childhood in war-torn Beirut, and his experience steering a $9.5bn dollar retail and lifestyle empire through a global pandemic, Alain brings an unmatched perspective on leadership under pressure. Today, we break down his crisis survival playbook for retailers operating in distress. We discuss why resilience must always outpace efficiency, the four assets a brand must protect at all costs, and how to turn macro-turmoil into a long-term direction that scales.

Boohoo has changed payment terms for suppliers from 30 days to 60 days, effective from 1 December, according to Drapers.

Manufacturers will be paid 30 days from the invoice date, up from 14 days currently.

In a letter to suppliers, seen by Drapers, Boohoo Group said: “As the business grows, we continue to review our ways of working (…) We want to make you aware of a change to our payment terms that will take effect from 1 December 2022.

“As we align our terms to reflect the broader retail industry standard, we have worked hard to ensure our terms will remain competitive.”

A Boohoo spokeswoman said: “The Boohoo Group are proud to have been offering our UK manufacturers industry leading 14-day payment terms since 2019. As of 1 December, we are adjusting our payment terms to more closely reflect those of other retailers, albeit at 30 and 60 days our terms remain swifter than most.”
