Nearly 9,000 pension scheme members of Sir Philip Green’s collapsed Arcadia high street empire are set to receive their full benefits in retirement, under a deal announced on Friday.
Insurance giant Aviva has agreed to take over two schemes for ex-Arcadia workers and management in a deal worth an initial £850million.
Members faced the risk of a shortfall in retirement after Arcadia, owners of chains such as Topshop and Topman, collapsed into administration in November 2020.
