00:00 Hello, my name is Greg Wright and I'm the Deputy Business Editor of the Yorkshire Post.
00:06 I bring you some breaking business news. The Body Shop is to shut another 75 UK stores
00:13 within the next six weeks with a loss of 489 jobs. The High Street skincare and cosmetics
00:20 chain fell into administration earlier this month. Administrators from FRP Advisory said
00:28 the latest closures will take place over the next four to six weeks as part of moves aimed
00:33 at preserving the brand. Last week, the retailer shut seven shops in its first phase of restructuring
00:41 after confirming plans to close nearly half of its then 198 UK outlets. So update this
00:47 morning from the Body Shop which has said it is going to shut another 75 UK stores within
00:53 the next six weeks with a loss of 489 jobs. My name is Greg Wright and I'm the Deputy
01:00 Business Editor of the Yorkshire Post.
