Manchester-headquartered historic family-owned business Timpson has rescued watch and jewellery repairer In-Time which collapsed in the days running up to Christmas.
Timpson has snapped up 35 shops and taken on 110 new employees. The value of the deal has not yet been confirmed but FRP have said no redundancies were made.
In-Time, which has its head office in Southport, has been trading since 1981 and had previously operated around 50 branches.
