Women's fashion chain Morgan UK has closed its stores with the loss of 600 jobs. The chain, of 69 shops in Britain, which also ran about 40 franchises in the UK, was a private company holding a licence to run the UK side of the French-owned Morgan business. KPMG administrators were called in yesterday morning as the company failed to raise extra finance to pay rent and wages and the French parent company terminated the distribution agreement, gaining control of the stock. KPMG said the chain had run out of cash with sales crashing 19% over the past six months.
