An increasing number of businesses including pubs, shops and supermarkets across the UK are being forced to close down due to the cost of living crisis.
According to figures released by accountancy group UHY Hacker Young earlier this week, the number of pub and bar companies calling last orders rose from 280 in 2021 to 512 last year.
The report said pubs and bars have faced rising energy and other costs and concerns over falling sales.
