Homebase to press ahead with closures

Homebase is pressing ahead with the closure of ten Scottish stores as part of a restructure of the embattled retailer. A company voluntary arrangement (CVA) put together by Homebase was approved yesterday. Almost 96 per cent of the company’s creditors voted in favour of the arrangement

Two stores will shut in Aberdeen under the announced closures, with other outlets to go in Dundee, East Kilbride, Greenock, Hawick, Inverness, Pollokshaws, Robroyston and Stirling.
