Genesco still right fit for schuh

The chief executive of footwear retailer Schuh has dismissed the prospect of the company being sold off.

Colin Temple spoke out after the group’s US parent Genesco faced pressure from activist investor Legion Partners to offload the business.

Mr Temple said he was confident in the footwear chain’s performance and the retailer will continue to prosper under the ownership of Genesco, which bought the firm for £100 million in 2011.
