Joint administrator Hunter Kelly said: “We received some expressions of interest in various parts of the business from a number of parties. No offers were made that included both the trade and retail operations of the business.
“Following the sale of stock – one of the Company’s most significant assets – the business has ceased to trade and is in the process of being wound. As a result, it has been necessary to make a further 68 redundancies. The remaining staff are being retained to assist us in winding down the business.”
The administrator is still seeking a buyer for the 205,000 warehouse in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire.
It is still unknown how much money the companies owes or the number of creditors.
