Wilko said it had received indicative offers to help recapitalize but none of them were able to provide sufficient liquidity in the time needed, meaning it was set to call in administrators. The retailer could be one of the first major victims of Britain’s tougher economy, after consecutive interest rates rises that started in December 2021.
“This is extremely concerning,” the GMB union, which represents about 4,000 workers at Wilko, said in a statement. “Wilko’s staff deserve reassurance that their jobs are safe.” Wilko’s Chief Executive Mark Jackson said he hoped the privately-held retailer would be bought. “We’ll continue to progress discussions with interested parties with the aim of completing a transaction which preserves the business,” he said in a statement.
