SCOTTISH womenswear chain QUIZ is heading for a listing on the London Stock Exchange Alternative Investment Market (AIM) – and dealing in the £102.7 million company is expected to start next Friday.

Tarak Ramzan, its founder and chief executive, said it marked a new phase in the Glasgow-based company’s growth: “We have a well-invested infrastructure, a clear customer focus and a fantastic team and I am delighted that investors have recognised the company’s significant strengths and opportunities with their support.

“We are confident that the company’s admission to AIM will help QUIZ to deliver its clear omni-channel growth strategy and enable the brand to achieve its hugely exciting global potential.”
