Beleaguered mobile phone retailer Phones 4u is to close 362 stores, with the loss of nearly 1,700 jobs, administrators said tonight.
A further 720 staff have been retained to assist with the closure programme, PwC said.
It comes after Phones 4u went into administration last week following network operator EE's decision not to renew its contract.
Thousands of Phones 4u workers fear they will lose their jobs after the retailer went into administration today.
The decision to appoint PwC to explore options for the business follows the decision by network operator EE - Phones 4u's last remaining partner - to hang up on its agreement.
