35 Phones4u stores across West Midlands to close permanently

Administrator PwC confirms locations of doomed stores, including six in Birmingham, which employ 169 staff

A total of 35 West Midlands Phones4u stores including six in Birmingham will close permanently, administrators have confirmed.

Details of their locations have been announced following the news that 362 stores nationwide would remain closed after administrator PwC said there was "limited interest" in taking them on.

The 35 stores employ 169 staff including the outlets in Martineau Place, Sutton Coldfield, Kings Heath, Harborne, Perry Barr and Yardley.

Among the other affected shops are three in Coventry, two in the Merry Hill centre, West Bromwich and as well as across the wider West Midlands region.

Last week, PwC was not be renewing its contract to supply Phones4u shops when it ran out next September.

Vodafone had made a similar announcement earlier in September.

Both for some of the Phones4u estate, including 16 stores in the West Midlands which employed 138 staff.

Dixons Carphone also agreed to take on more than 800 staff from Phones4u concessions stands located within Dixons Carphone outlets.
