OUR ROLE

Intrinsic orchestrated a deal to acquire the trade and assets and safeguard the profitable future of the business.

Intrinsic recruited a new management team, the store portfolio was rationalised, and the strategy was returned back to the core principles that had made the business a success historically.

The Works has consistently made operating profits of between £8m and £10m and continue to grow driven by new store openings and investment in online presence.
