The retail giant currently has 86 locations in the UK, which include 29 standalone branches and 35 concessions, including 25 located in John Lewis department stores, as well as seven airport stores and eight Ted Baker outlet stores. But administrators have confirmed some sites across England will pull down their shutters within days.

About 25 head office roles will be made redundant as a result of plans to reduce central costs at the fashion chain.
