Overview
- The London High Court sanctioned the restructuring on Wednesday, July 1, allowing TG Jones to proceed with a court‑approved turnaround.
- Under the plan owner Modella Capital will add £15m to a £10m loan provided in April, bringing known owner support to £25m and securing reduced rents from landlords.
- Company lawyers told the court the business faced an £8m funding gap and risked collapse without the restructuring, which includes the planned closure of almost 150 high‑street stores.
- TG Jones operates about 450 stores and employs roughly 4,700 people, but the firm has not disclosed which branches will close or how many jobs will be lost.
- Retail analysts and local leaders should expect wide local uncertainty for town centres as the retailer reshapes its estate, with the plan intended to protect the core stores and keep the business trading.
