Ted Baker to close 15 stores starting in days

See the full list of shops closing below

Ted Baker will close 15 stores with some pulling down their shutters in days after the retailer fell into administration.

Administrators for the fashion chain have confirmed sites across England will close permanently in a blow to the high street.

Eleven stores will all have shut by April 19, with 120 staff set to lose their jobs.

Administrator Teneo said all 11 stores are loss-making with no expectation they will become profitable.

Four stores will also close after notices were served before Ted Baker fell into administration, resulting in a further 100 redundancies.

On top of the 220 in-store redundancies, 25 head office staff will also lose their jobs, Teneo said.

This is the full list of branches closing within days:

• Birmingham Bullring
• Bristol
• Bromley
• Cambridge
• Exeter
• Leeds
• Liverpool One
• London Bridge
• Milton Keynes
• Nottingham
• Oxford
• Bicester (notice served before administration)
• Brompton Road, London (notice served before administration)
• Floral Street, London (notice served before administration)
• Manchester Trafford (notice served before administration)

Benji Dymant, joint administrator said: “Ted Baker is an iconic British brand with strong partners around the world.

"We would like to thank Ted Baker team members and partners for their ongoing efforts and support at this difficult time."
