He added that ‘the number of stores and staff will not be disclosed’ but that all branches are expected to be shut by the end of October.
The spokesman said: “We have received very positive feedback from our customers and business partners on our new collection and look forward to continuing our good and constructive cooperation with our wholesale partners in the UK in the future.”
Last month Gerry Weber reached an investment agreement with Robus and Whitebox, providing up to €49.2m, as part of ‘ongoing insolvency proceedings under self-administration’ which began in January.
