The entertainment retailer, which was rescued by Putman in 2019 after falling into administration, recorded a loss before tax of £198,000 in the 16 months to May 30.

Despite all 108 of its UK stores being forced to close during the three-month lockdown period earlier this year, HMV made sales of £187m giving the retailer confidence for the future.
