The joint administrators of BM Retail Limited have completed the sale of the businesses to Purepay Retail Limited, which is backed by an international investor consortium.
Damian Webb and Gordon Thomson, partners at the accountancy firm RSM, were appointed joint administrators to the company on 30 November 2020.
Purepay, a secured creditor to the business, has acquired all the remaining stock, as well as the head office site and distribution centre in Wakefield. Purepay will operate 72 stores under licence and 387 store staff will transfer to the acquirer, alongside all 51 head office and 93 distribution centre staff.
The remaining 148 stores are currently closed in line with Government legislation and the administrators are reviewing all options for these sites prior to the lifting of the Government lockdown. The staff at these stores are currently furloughed.
