BHS Jobs Fears As Firm Set For Administration
 
First Heading : Some BHS stores may close as some places they can not afford the rent

40 Stores are risk.


Today they went court
as in Big Dept


http://news.sky.com/story/1653364/bh...with-landlords



[BhS said 40 shops would "continue to trade for a
minimum period of 10 months whilst negotiations with landlords are
undertaken to reduce the rents substantially", adding
that it "hoped that the store closure number will be kept to a minimum".]

[BhS is to make nearly 400 staff redundant
as part of a restructuring aimed at stabilising the company's finances, Sky News learns. ]

I'm not surprised. If M&S and Matalan are in trouble, an old dated store like BHS isn't going to be thriving.

My local newsagent who's been open for 24 years is down on stock and tells me he's never hit such hard times and thinks he may have to close. Three shops on his row have already closed and another one is about to so things aren't looking good for the small guys either.

Babayaro. 04-03-2016 07:40 PM

I would imagine so

arista 24-04-2016 02:27 PM

The retailer fails to secure a critical £60m loan,
possible talks with Sports Direct
over the sale of some stores are ongoing.

Sky News now reporting that a company spokesperson has confirmed the retailer is going into administration. 11,000 jobs now officially at risk.

its just business, the store has had its day and cannot compete with online

bots 25-04-2016 09:35 AM

its been a badly managed business lacking vision and investment for years. It should be no surprise to anyone.

smudgie 25-04-2016 10:41 AM

When a business gets sold on for £1 you know it is in serious trouble.

the truth 25-04-2016 10:47 AM

the uk economy is going down the toilet after putting all its eggs in the monster corporate retailer basket, when the future is all internet. small businesses can adapt far quicker to changes, these big beasts are too big and cumbersome , change takes too long to happen...this is 11,000 of millions of similar retail jobs about to go...were in big trouble

Theyre bad but still better than the last labour government

Rob! 25-04-2016 11:44 AM

I get they're closing down, which is sad tbh. But what exactly does it mean if a company goes into administration?

they have people to pay for a start, staff and suppliers, lots of stock to get rid of etc

they will appoint a specialist firm to do this

Rob! 25-04-2016 12:23 PM

Oh so they file for someone to pay off the debts they can't manage and then officially close down then basically?

they probably owe so many suppliers, the administrators will negotiate so much in the pound to repay them etc

they will shut up shop and try and make the most of a bad lot
