Fears have been raised over the future of hundreds of jobs after a high street fashion chain announced it had called in administrators.

M&Co entered administration on Friday, December 9, for the second time in two years.

The Scottish brand has a number of stores in Norfolk, including in Cromer, Diss, Hunstanton, Fakenham and Attleborough and employs nearly 2000 people nationwide.

The Norfolk stores posted on social media announcing the news that the company had entered administration.

The post said: "To all our amazing customers, not an easy message to convey.

"M&Co have entered into administration as of the 9th December 2022.

"We are hoping for a positive outcome and that our lovely shops will be saved.

"We will be doing our best to keep a positive shopping environment for all our customers and despite the circumstances, we remain positive.

"We hope to see many shoppers about over the Christmas period and will do our best to help."

Currently, the stores are unable to process refunds but can exchange goods of the same value or above.

While gift cards are being accepted, reward vouchers and loyalty card points are not.

M&Co has been approached for comment as to the future of jobs and stores in Norfolk.
