    Administrators of The Body Shop said today the Harrogate shop had survived a cull of stores.

    Seventy-five UK shops are set to close over the next six weeks, leading to 489 job losses. But 116 stores will remain open, including the one in Harrogate.

    The beauty company, which was founded in 1976 by the late Dame Anita Roddick, has been a long-term tenant in the Victoria Shopping Centre. But staff have faced an uncertain future in recent months.

    The company was bought by private equity firm Aurelius in November and FRP Advisory were appointed as administrators this month.

    Tony Wright, joint administrator, said:

    “In taking swift action to right-size The Body Shop UK store portfolio, we have stabilised the business and are providing the best opportunity for this iconic brand to have a long-term, sustainable future.
    "The UK business continues to trade in administration, and we remain fully focused on exploring all options to take the business forward.”


    Stores in Skipton, York and one in Leeds are also to remain open.
