Final Curtain At Furnishings Firm
Filed Under Curtain Rods | Posted on November 8, 2008
THE last South Yorkshire branch of Hellaby-based Rosebys soft furnishings group has been closed down by administrators.
The Parkgate store in Rotherham, where nine jobs have been lost, is among 58 stores being shut down. A further 77 stores have been sold to a new owner.
“But in difficult trading conditions the sale of a number of stores has been secured, which will safeguard many jobs and help achieve a return for creditors.”
One company employee said the doors had been closed at the 59 shops without warning.
“Everyone is well and truly cheesed off. We’ve been living on a wing and a prayer since the end of September, just left up in the air. The feeling among the workers is the problems are down to sheer mismanagement, the credit crunch is not the main factor here.”
