11,000 BHS staff left devastated as Administrators announce complete closure by 20 August

Dave Gill, Usdaw National Officer says: “Today's announcement is the final hammer blow to BHS staff, who have been worried about their future for over a year since the company was sold for £1 and more recently put in the hands of the administrators. Following the news that all remaining BHS stores will be closed by 20 August, Usdaw calls on the administrators to redouble their efforts in finding a buyer for the remaining stores and to secure as many jobs as possible.
