Coast To Expand Its Global Presence

The occasionwear fashion chain, owned by Aurora, is to expand worldwide on the back of a boost in demand overseas. Coast now operates approximately 130 outlets overseas, 55% of which are franchised. Gail Anscomb, director of international at Coast, hopes to take this to a 50:50 split in the future.
