You not read what BBC have reported?? Might be worthwhile and then at least you can question it if they tell you different at work tomorrow. There are times where a company doesnt tell the workers until they have too, and this time is generally when it reaches the media in one way or another

Re: Ethel Austins gone into administration
 

I hope you are right Yol, but it doesn't usually work that way, my branch of Music Zone made a hefty profit and still got closed. It's the company as a whole that counts.

Oh nuts, I get nearly all Em's clothes from there as its good quality stuff for babies. I really hope they don't shut it coz it'll leave my with a grand choice of Asda, Matalan and god forbid Adams.

Re: Ethel Austins gone into administration
 

The baby clothes are really lovely.

Re: Ethel Austins gone into administration
 

I dont think the how the individual shops do matters. If the Company as whole is losing money, not paying suppliers etc, then its worrying news

Hope its good news for you tomorrow Yolanda, hopefully there may be interest from other companies to buy the company out

Re: Ethel Austins gone into administration
 

at the moment is 30 shops closing out of 300 and this shops that are closing are the ones that are on minus profits, we are always on a plus thats why i wasnt worried, as soon as i find out whats happening i will text emamum to write it on here.
