  • Kitchens retailer Magnet is to close 15 "underperforming" stores as part of a Company Voluntary Arrangement ( CVA ) aimed at restructuring its financial position.

  • Although the exact number of affected employees was not disclosed, Magnet confirmed that staff would be supported and offered alternative roles where feasible.
  • The majority of Magnet's 159 outlets will continue to operate, as they are not impacted by these restructuring plans.
