iansheff 88 #1 Posted February 6, 2019 Rent-to-own retailer BrightHouse has announced 30 store closures as 350 jobs are slashed. There is a £22.1million pre-tax loss in it's last set of accounts, also the FCA are imposing a cap on interest rates that firms like Brighthouse will be able to charge customers in April. https://www.mirror.co.uk/money/brighthouse-store-closures-full-list-13958273 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

willman 10 #5 Posted February 6, 2019 Obviously it'll please the ones who have always moaned about the likes of Brighthouse, but no so good for the staff or the people who need the facilities they offer. The next thing for the charities to source will be wide screen tv's to pick up with your food parcels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
