An offer from the owner of HMV to save Nottinghamshire retailer wilko has gained the backing of creditors, according to new reports.
The Times says the firm’s administrators, PwC, are now looking into the financials behind the deal, thought to come as debt from Gordon Brothers.
Last week it was reported that Doug Putman’s deal could save roughly 8,500 jobs, as noted by Sky News.
Putman was said to be looking to acquire over 300 of wilko’s 400 shops.
The news came as OnBuy put forward an improved offer for the wilko brand and after PwC confirmed a raft of redundancies.
