BHS closes shutters with 11,000 jobs gone
Britain’s High Street loses second big name in matter of days
BRITAIN’S High Street lost its second big name this week with yesterday’s announcement that BHS will go into liquidation at the cost of 11,000 jobs.
The shutters were immediately brought down at some of the company’s stores, as the company’s debt levels scuppered a rescue deal.
BHS’s collapse comes days after menswear retailer Austin Reed announced it was closing on Wednesday.
