After the business entered administration last week, the first stores to be closed have now been announced by administrators. Included in these first closures are the Stratford-Upon-Avon, Edinburgh, Bluewater and Belfast stores with total job losses currently at 165. This is in addition to a further 44 redundancies being made across the head office and distribution functions, with the administrators noting that “this is a particularly unsettling time for all concerned and would like to go on record to express thanks for the commitment and professionalism shown to date by Jaeger staff.”
