Wilko: jobs to be lost and stores closed as attempts to find buyer fail
Wilko’s administrator has concluded that jobs will be lost and stores will close after it failed to find a buyer for the whole business.

As a result, Wilko staff have been alerted to the likely redundancies and closures that will follow.
