Dave Dodd is one of the co-founders of Poundland, a UK discount retailer established in 1990 that revolutionized the retail landscape by offering all items at a single price point of £1. Under Dodd's vision, Poundland grew rapidly, becoming a beloved shopping destination for budget-conscious consumers. However, in recent years, the company has faced significant challenges, including competition from other discount retailers and rising operational costs. Following a series of missteps, Poundland was sold for less than £1 to Gordon Brothers, a move aimed at restructuring the brand amidst a difficult retail environment.
