Reprieve For BHS Staff As Final Store Closures Delayed

Administrators for BHS have announced plans to delay the closure of the doomed retailer's 57 remaining branches, delaying the redundancies of thousands of workers. The chain was preparing to bring the shutters down nationwide for good on Saturday, but Duff & Phelps and FRP Advisory have now extended this closing date to 28 August. Administrators are keeping the final 57 stores open until stock runs out in a last-ditch bid to maximise returns.
