MOTHERCARE ADMINISTRATION CLEARANCE: 1.5 M ITEMS CLEARED IN 6 WEEKS

When Mothercare entered administration, a critical requirement emerged to clear and redistribute stock swiftly while preventing any product from reaching franchise or overseas markets where existing brand agreements remained in place. With vast volumes across retail outlets and distribution centres, time was of the essence and full transparency was non-negotiable.

CTR Group managed the entire operation under tight time constraints. We collected every pallet on-site, scanned and manifested each SKU, then routed stock into approved downstream channels. All movements were logged in real time so the administrator could monitor progress and ensure secure, compliant distribution only to permitted markets.

In just six weeks our 25-strong emergency team processed 1.5 million items, deploying sell-on strategies across UK charities and non-franchise overseas buyers. Every unit carried a digital audit trail, protecting Mothercare’s brand relationships and delivering maximum value to the administrator faster than any alternative solution.
