High Street chain collapse sweepstake
An item on Calendar interviewing shoppers about the BHS downfall intercut with shots of the Leeds and Sheffield branches where they did the interviews.
The Leeds branch has the logo that was in use just before the current one, the Sheffield one has the logo in use the one before that. The graphics on the news report itself used the current logo.

TVF's London Lite.
I'm slightly surprised that no buyer was found for the chain or a significant chunk of it. Clearly the administrators thought there was a decent chance or all their head office staff would have been laid off straight away - it's unusual for a company to continue to generate bespoke marketing material like the "#SaveBHS" campaign while its in administration.
But yeah, I think the reality is that there isn't really any love among the public for the brand. I think I miss Allders, for example, considerably more than I'll ever miss BHS.

The big problem of course is Arcadia still have several concessions inside BHS sites, so they're going to have to lose a huge amount of staff themselves with nowhere for them to go.
I don't think they had separate staff. Certainly they don't have their own tills and stuff.robschneider wrote:The big problem of course is Arcadia still have several concessions inside BHS sites, so they're going to have to lose a huge amount of staff themselves with nowhere for them to go.
