Haldanes enters administration

Haldanes officially entered administration last week.

The retail chain has appointed the Sheffield-based P&A Partnership as the administrator for Haldanes Stores Ltd and Ruston Retail Ltd. Haldanes shut its 23 stores last month, with the loss of hundreds of jobs.

Sister companies Haldanes Express Ltd, Haldanes Retail Group Ltd, UGO Stores Ltd and Bakery Products Ltd are unaffected.

A website - insolvency4employees.co.uk - has been set up to help staff.
