HMV owner Doug Putman is reportedly mulling a bid to buy The Body Shop out of administration after its collapse in February just weeks after being taken over by Aurelius.

While Putman is believed to have registered his interest with administrator FRP Advisory, he is yet to make a formal offer, according to The Telegraph.

The Canadian businessman bought HMV out of administration in 2019 and also owns Toys R Us in Canada.
