You have recently joined an executive recruitment firm that specialises in advising and placing senior managers in the retail industry. One of your clients is currently considering an offer of a senior post at JD Sports Plc when a similar post comes up at Dunelm Plc.
Your client has some time to respond to JD Sports Plc so is interested to learn more about both companies. She has commissioned you to write a report advising her on the past and future financial performance and financial strength of Dunelm Plc in comparison to JD Sports Plc. As both posts also include a similar stock options element in the overall package, she is also interested in the view the stock market has of both companies.
Required: Write the requested report to include the following:
a) A review of the recent financial
performance and current position of Dunelm plc, and JD Sports plc together with an assessment of future prospects.
b) An analysis of the performance of the companies from the viewpoint of the stock market.
c) Appropriate recommendations to your client
