A number of retail stores in a major national chain have collapsed after landlords repossessed the premises, while staff have been terminated from their roles despite still being owed their final wages .
“As you all know, we have encountered immense and considerable financial issues which have now cause us to cease trading. As a result, we need to stand down all employees,” reads part of the email sent to staff at the Hoxton Park franchise. A major red flag, the former employee claims, was when a private detective came to the store. “I think it was a debt collector,” Gemma said.“We had access to the figures that each shop was turning over every month. We could see it going bad.”“When I started there I reckon we had at least 100 boots in stock,” she said, adding that boots was their top selling item.
Gemma recalled being guilt-stricken when a couple running a start-up cleaning business wanted to put through a $7000 uniform order. “We are currently dealing with administrators and liquidators, and are in the process of selling our businesses.”
