Harrogate Body Shop survives administrator's cull
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:
Stores in Skipton, York and one in Leeds are also to remain open.
