Reiss has categorically denied recent media speculation that private equity firm and majority stakeholder Warburg Pincus is looking to sell the retailer.

A source at the fashion retailer said the story was “completely untrue” and lambasted the newspaper for not contacting either the business or Warburg Pincus before running the article.
