Fashion retailer Quiz to close Milton Keynes store after entering administration

Fashion retailer Quiz will be closing their branch at the centre:mk in Milton Keynes after entering administration.

The Milton Keynes store is one of 23 branches across the UK and Ireland that Quiz will be closing down after the parent company fell into administration in January, with the shop closing with immediate effect.

A rescue deal will see 43 branches saved, but the Milton Keynes branch failed to meet the cut. It’s been reported that around 200 people have lost their jobs as a result of the closures.

Quiz’s administrators Teneo have said that they will communicate with staff and government regulators as to next steps.

In a statement, Teneo’s joint administrator Gavin Maher said, “Although the sale has resulted in the transfer of a number of jobs, it has been necessary to make redundancies. We appreciate that this is a difficult and uncertain time for all involved and are communicating appropriately with all employees, customers and stakeholders.”
