CLINTONS’ JOY

AROUND 2,500 jobs have been saved at Clintons after the card chain was sold back to its existing owners in a rescue deal.

The high street retailer went into administration and then was immediately sold to Esquire Retail – a firm set up and controlled by the Weiss family.

Administrators KPMG said the move will safeguard all Clintons’ employees and ensure its 334 stores continue to trade throughout the Christmas period.
