Post Companies/Stores that are Runnind into Trouble called in The recievers or Closed completely Here
I heard it said as nay a 7 out of 10 stores/factories may be in throuble For 2009

Woolworths UK closed completely 7th January

Viyella UK have called in the Administrators
They are the Biggest Makers of Synthetic cloth
in the UK (And the Biggest Textile company)
They Took over from where Courtaulds demise (Cotton) in the 80s,from the takeover by Sara Lee
Used to be Courtauld mills all over Lancashire (Nothing left)
Viyella had about 25% of the Market But with cheap Foreign Imports that has been swallowed up too! That story started in the Beginning of the 1970s (Not the credit Crunch) and the Current Crisis is the Last straw

FYI I worked for Both Companies

Borders the Book People Have gone this week with over 1000 redundancies
www.borders.co.uk/ Can still shop in the stores, but Online buying is suspended

The American Arm is "Ok" for now or is it?

The Book People site is still operating (owned by the same people) But that could collapse too at any time
