Sports direct has sacked all of the senior management of House of Fraser including directors after buying the department store out of administration.

Sports Direct bought House of Fraser out of administration for £90 million in August.

Mike Ashley has said that he aims to turn the department store into the ‘Harrods of the high street’.

The dismissals were announced yesterday to the stock exchange, but no details were given about who has gone or who would be replacing them.

Sports Direct announced the sackings by saying, "Following the collapse of House of Fraser on August 10 2018, and subsequent calls for an investigation into the circumstances of that collapse, the company today announces that we have dismissed the former directors and senior management of House of Fraser."
