Further House of Fraser closures

Four more House of Fraser stores are set to close after new owner Sports Direct failed to reach an agreement with the landlord.

The sites in Norwich, Nottingham, Lakeside in Essex and Metrocentre in Gateshead, will face closure in the new year. Sports Direct is now in consultation with staff.

The landlord of the sites is London-listed Intu, which is in the midst of a potential sale to a group of investors.
