BARGAIN hunters have nearly cleared all the shelves at Worcester's Wilko store as it is announced the store will make redundancies after it fell into administration.

The store on High Street now looks very different to how it did earlier in the month with many of the shelves left bare. 

Animal food, gardening stuff and decorations proved to be the most popular, with most of the shelves in the section left empty.

Other popular items that have gone are paint rollers, batteries, storage boxes, cutlery and the pick-and-mix section.

Huge 'Everything Must Go' and 'Administration' signs have been put on the store's windows and hang from its ceilings.

Some sections within the store such as the Christmas decorations are marked 50 per cent off all goods.

However, there are still plenty of products for bargain hunters to get their hands on.

It was announced yesterday (Thursday) that jobs will now be lost after the only potential bidder, which had said it would protect all 12,500 employees and the 400 Wilko sites, missed the deadline set by administrator PWC.

It meant that 269 support centre workers would have their last day with the business on Monday.

There will be further redundancies across the company’s two distribution centres from early next week.

The GMB union said a bidder, reported to be M2 Capital, had yet to submit the evidence needed to show it could buy the business.

PWC also said there had yet to be viable offers for Kin Limited, a company subsidiary. Kin has been forced to close, with 14 jobs gone.

The administrator said discussions with bidders interested in buying parts of the business are continuing.

The GMB said: “As a result of this unwelcome development, the redundancy processes which were paused two days ago are set to restart almost instantly.”
