What: Peek & Cloppenburg is joining the German Trade Association, HDE, along with its sister company, Anson’s.

Why it is important: This post-bankruptcy move is a significant step in addressing key industry challenges such as enhancing city attractiveness, sustainability, and skilled worker shortages, leveraging HDE's influence and network for the future of Peek & Cloppenburg.

The HDE's Managing Director, Stefan Genth, recognizes the importance of having P&C, a significant player in the German fashion trade, as a member, strengthening the HDE's role as a representative voice for the industry. P&C's long history of influencing retail and city centres in Germany, with over 160 locations in Europe and 90 in Germany, and its status as one of the largest employers in fashion retail, positions it as a key contributor to the HDE's initiatives for retail's future.
