The retailer's lenders, led by high street bank HSBC, appointed the accountancy firm to assist in negotiations on borrowing covenants, Sky News first reported.

New and existing shareholders are understood to have have invested £20m in the business in the past couple of weeks.

In a turbulent year for the young fashion retailer, founder, Peter Williams, was ousted from the business in August and former Debenhams executive director, Suzanne Harlow, took over as CEO in September.

At the end of last year Jack Wills was understood to be in discussions to reduce rents in an effort to alleviate pressure on the business.

The retailer now has more than 90 stores and opened four new premises in November in Basingstoke, Braintree, Camberley and Spalding.

Jack Wills declined to comment. EY has yet to respond to request for comment.

March 1956, Singapore. As the two Land Rovers, battle-scarred from thousands upon thousands of miles, rolled to a stop on Orchard Road, "they opened the champagne. Cameras clicked and whirred, flashbulbs popped, reporters buzzed about... After all, it had been a long drive - six months, six days, and nearly 19,000 miles. We had reached the end of Asia, and by land, we could go no further".

This is where Tim Slessor ended his account of an extraordinary journey; he was one of six Oxford and Cambridge graduates who set themselves the challenge of driving from London to Singapore (and back again) in 1955. It's documented in The First Overland, a book that sowed the seeds of our current collection well over a year ago, as our design team began to delve into the world of adventure and exploration.

British heritage is always at the forefront of our minds when researching a new collection; as well as a great deal of online research, about everything from the global outlook of our most intrepid adventurers of the time to military-inspired travel apparel, vintage shops were scoured and we pored over The First Overland - what colours and styles were the friends wearing, and what countries did they pass through? A road trip that included Germany, Turkey, Syria, Iran, Pakistan, India, Nepal and Thailand provided more than enough material to inform the main body of the collection.

The result? Our summer collection is imbued with a spirit of adventure, featuring designs that reflect practical exploration garb, and striking pieces influenced by specialist crafts and fabrics found in different countries across the world. Olive, sand and khaki formed the base of the colour palette, perfect for pieces like the rain mac, bombers and jackets, all of which were made with functional fabrications and military-inspired detailing.

Madras shirts nod both to modern-day explorer style and elements that have been woven into the 'British traveller look' over the decades. Named after what was formerly known as Chennai, a modern Madras fabric has a plaid, checked or even striped pattern in generally bright colours. These versions were said to be the result of the tartan craze that started when King George IV visited Scotland in 1822. This influenced the British in India and tartans began to be incorporated into Madras. Our shirts, all designed in house, are made from a classic cotton fabric in tones of blue, khaki and white with red accents and rich plum highlights, adding colour to the range.

The overriding design ethos was to create clothing that was fit for purpose - using lightweight, open-weave, garment-dyed materials and employing clever design details geared towards making a traveller's life easier. A British explorer in the 1950s would have been wearing practical clothing heavily influenced by military kit, which in turn added to the heritage feel of items like the chino trousers or shorts.

For the most part, our safari and exploration-inspired clothing is understated and classic - if you want to mix in something more vibrant, check out our new tropical print for her and for him. After all, most modern-day explorers can safely risk jazzing up their ensembles with a loud statement shirt and parrot-print boxers.

Turkey with its robust economic performance has integrated itself into the globalized world. In fact, it seems that BRIC nations can be changed to BRICT nations to include Turkey as well. The country's remarkable performance is the result of many factors including a sound macroeconomic strategy along with structural reforms and favorable fiscal policies. Also, as costs of LCC sourcing from China begin to soar, Turkey has caught the eye of potential investors seeking opportunities for sourcing. Today, Turkey is a serious global economic contender and the possibility of leveraging a large domestic market and a much larger "Turkish-based" market generated by the late Ottoman Empire which allows Turkish companies to tap into consumer markets of millions of consumers has lured investors. Also, a business culture which is very close to that of the West has made it easier for buyers interested in Turkey sourcing when compared to Asian suppliers.

The large Turkish community which expatriated into various parts of Western Europe including Germany has also helped facilitate business links between Europe and manufacturers in Turkey. Its unique political situation makes it the only western style democracy in the Muslim world and the country is at the geographic cross-road between east and west, and north and south. This has helped turn Turkey into a vital ally for the western world in its dealing with the Muslim world. That explains its strategic status, which favors inwards investments by western MNCs.
Sourcing Turkey - Your Trusted Partner in Turkey
Is your company looking for an opportunity to develop business in Turkey? Do you want to save on overhead operating and quality costs while you establish operations? Turkey has attracted immense investor interest from large corporate buyers in Western Europe. With more number of companies embracing the benefits of Turkey sourcing, the industrial strengths of the Turkish industry including automotive systems, construction material and mechanical components are in huge demand. The need for international outsource partners has grown considerably as well. There are a number of companies which will assist you to maximize your revenue while minimizing your expenses when you consider sourcing from Turkey or choose manufacturers in Turkey for your various business needs.
The Cost Advantage - Save Big

With the services of an agency, you can expect to bring into your business innovative thinking, customized services and swift action that are tailored to your needs with a huge cost advantage while you choose Turkey sourcing.
Give Your Business a Competitive Edge
Turkey has emerged as a major sourcing hub and in the current business environment with increased emphasis on optimization of company costs by concentrating internally on long-term strategic capabilities; it is obvious that world-wide companies are increasingly depending on products sourced from low cost countries. They are engaging global service providers specialized in finding trusted manufacturers and products for all their business needs. However, Turkey has been dealing with its own challenges, which are similar to challenges in China. For instance, currency related risks such as the increase in Turkish Lira, labor inflationary pressure, widening gap between Istanbul - which is growing richer - and the countryside, and also the risk of sliding towards Islamism vs democracy.
