El primer ministro cuestiona rescate rechazado de Poundland

El Times informó que el 29 de octubre el primer ministro preguntó por qué se rechazó la oferta de rescate de la cadena de tiendas de descuento Poundland después de que su propietario estadounidense presentara un aviso de intención de nombrar administradores, poniendo en riesgo miles de puestos de trabajo. El 27 de octubre, según la BBC, Poundland presentó un aviso de intención de nombrar administradores, lo que le dio un breve periodo para asegurar un acuerdo de rescate o una venta. La medida siguió a una carta del secretario de Negocios Jonathan Reynolds dirigida a Gordon Brothers, informada por The Guardian.

Previamente, The Telegraph informó que el director ejecutivo de la empresa dijo que Gordon Brothers había limitado el acceso a una línea de préstamo, lo que llevó a la compañía a buscar asesoría legal. The Telegraph también señaló que tres directores designados para reactivar Poundland renunciaron en medio de la disputa sobre una posible venta o quiebra.
