Capital move for Bosideng International

LAW firm Gordons has helped retailer Bosideng open its new flagship store and European headquarters in London.

The six-storey building is at the head of London’s South Molton Street, near the Oxford Street shopping area of the West End.

Gordons, which has offices in Bradford and Leeds, offered construction and commercial contract advice on the project.

Bosideng manages its UK operation out of Yorkshire as chief executive Wayne Zhu is based in the region.

The company acquired historic Bradford-based clothing retailer Greenwoods Menswear in 2009.

Gordons originally advised Bosideng on the £20m London property acquisition and the firm subsequently worked with the client on the £6m building phase.

Richard Piper, head of Gordons’ construction team, said: “Apart from a continuing hand-holding process, including ensuring any statutory requirements were complied with, and liaison with the building contractors, our recent work included negotiating successfully with Crossrail’s legal team. This was to ensure Bosideng’s foundation works were compatible with Crossrail’s ongoing operations.”
