According to a report by the Independent, the changes Aurora makes throughout its business model will make it easier for Kaupthing, its biggest shareholder, to sell the group's womenwear brands later on.

Aurora rolls out 90 minute delivery across UK Monday, 1st August 2011
From tomorrow lunchtime impulse buys made at the office desk could beat customers on their journey home.
Karen Millen, Oasis, Coast and Warehouse owner Aurora Fashions has teamed up with same-day delivery service Shutl to offer its 90 minute delivery service across the UK.
Shopaholics in Manchester, Leeds, Glasgow and Edinburgh will be first to trial the service, which until now was only available to customers within the M25. Customers can chose a one hour delivery window, either on the day they order or on a chosen day.
Shutl founder Tom Allason today told press the delivery service plans to each around 25 per cent of online shoppers in the UK with tomorrow’s expansion:
“Assuming everything goes to plan, we expect to launch across a further five cities in the coming weeks. Our goal is to have sufficient coverage by November to give high-street retailers a significant competitive edge over Amazon and the other pure-play etailers this Christmas.”

Debenhams tables bid for stock & brand of Jane Norman Thursday, 23rd June 2011
Debenhams yesterday tabled a bid to acquire the stock and brand of fashion retailer Jane Norman as the latter prepares for a hefty 'quarter day' rent payment tomorrow.
The leading British department store wants to keep the Jane Norman concessions but has no known interest in the 91 high-street stores. It is also believed that Debenhams has offered to buy some of the stock in Jane Norman's standalone stores.
PricewaterhouseCoopers have been hired to assist in the completion of the deal. Aurora Fashions, owner of Oasis and Warehouse, is also thought to be interested in the troubled women's fashion retailer. It is understood that a small number of retail restructuring firms are also keeping a keen eye on the brand.
