Jessops Closure Impact
Leicester-based Jessops, which has been on our high streets since 1935, has gone into administration, the first big name to go under in 2013.
Former Jessops employees seeking help say charity
A charity that helps people in the retail sector says a quarter of the calls to its helpline in the last week have come from former Jessops employees.
The Leicester-based camera company went into administration last Wednesday but on Friday the administrator closed the firm's 187 shops, including 20 in the Midlands.
The firm is based in Leicester and started in the city in 1935. Now the Retail Trust says it can provide help and support to 1,300 staff who lost their jobs.
