Thousands of BHS staff to be told of redundancies
More than 11,000 BHS workers will be told they face redundancy consultation today as the chain's 114 remaining stores are expected to close over the coming weeks.
Administrator Duff & Phelps has already closed down 20 stores, affecting 580 staff, and will shut a further 30 shops on July 30, affecting another 700 employees.
The affected stores are as follows:
Ayr
Barnstaple
Bolton
Camberley
Cameron Toll, Edinburgh
Carmarthen
Chesterfield
Crewe
Derby
Falkirk
Gravesend
Hamilton
Kilmarnock
Kirkcaldy
Leith
Livingston
Mansfield
MK Stadium
Newtownabbey
Poole
Portsmouth
Redditch
Rotherham
Salisbury
Scunthorpe
Sheffield Moor
Taunton
Torquay
Weston Super Mare
Worthing
All stores will be closed by August 20, following the collapse of the chain in April.
The news comes on the day that a damning parliamentary inquiry branded BHS's ownership under Sir Philip Green as the "unacceptable face of capitalism."
Theresa May has called the report findings "clearly concerning."
