Superdry shares fall 10% as retailer row intensifies

Shares in clothes firm Superdry slumped almost 10% after founder Julian Dunkerton narrowly forced his way back into the company, which sparked the exit of most of its board members, including top executives.

Melville Dunkerton, the former boss of Superdry, was voted back on the board by a slim margin and hours later was named interim chief executive after winning the backing of shareholders looking for a revival of the fashion group’s fortunes.
