Retailer understood to be seeking £30m emergency funding amid falling sales
The owners of Wilko took £3m in dividends this past year despite the cut price chain falling almost £37m into the red before seeking emergency funding.
The homewares-to-cosmetics retailer, whose managing director Alison Hands is to exit in January, about 18 months after taking the job, is understood to be trying to secure a £30m debt facility with alternative lenders.
