Jonathan James in Administration?

Airwolf1

Just reading this from the moneysavers arms -

"My mum in law is a manageress at a Jonathan James store and shes been told its gone in to administration and that they have closed some stores down - the meadowhall one included. Thought they were doing alright? wonder whose next"

I've tried to google it but can't see anything relating to this. If it is true, then thats possibly more people losing their jobs at this festive time of the year.

I haven't found anything else but will keep an eye out

shoe shop - i hadn't heard it which is why i put it on here to see if anyone else had. JJ in meadowhall shut day before xmas eve - 1 day notice to close shop but paid a month notice. The company who own them broughton (?) brothers hasnt gone into admin, just JJ so i cant understand why Broughton brothers hasnt ploughed money into JJ to save it?

They're in Yorkshire as well as Nottingham, although I did think they were more spread about too. They don't seem to have a website either.
