In March, the retailer Laura
Ashley filed for administration. With 150 stores in the UK, this meant that
approximately 2700 jobs are at risk. The business had tried to get an emergency
loan but was unable to secure it. According to the firm, the coronavirus crisis
had an immediate and significant impact on trading and it had to call in
administrators PwC.
The textile design
company has reopened its doors of the Westwood outlet for a closing down sale.
Customers can enjoy at least 50% off fashion in-store and online and 30% discount
on all furniture. Prices of all products have been reduced since everything
must be sold, including stock being cleared from the warehouse. The firm has
made sure to protect its employees and customers by making its store ‘COVID
secure’. For instancing, there are social distancing protocols, deep cleaning
and only a limited number of shoppers are allowed inside the outlet at one
time. Moreover, card payments are being encouraged.
The Westwood shop will keep trading until further notice. A
spokesman for Laura Ashley
said, “There are some fantastic deals to be found in-store, as everything is
now reduced and, with at least 50% off fashion, we expect clothing ranges to
sell out fast”. He also advanced that the firm is extremely mindful of the
current COVID crisis and they wanted to reassure customers about the safety of
their stores.
