Under-fire Poundland owner 'among suitors' for footwear chain Dune

The investment firm is exploring a potential takeover of the footwear chain, despite facing intense scrutiny over its management of Poundland. MPs have recently questioned the firm's stewardship of the discount retailer, raising concerns about the impact on jobs and the company's financial health. Dune was put up for sale by its founder, Daniel Rubin, earlier this year. Advisors at FTI Consulting are managing the sale process, which has attracted interest from several other potential buyers.
