Mark Firmin and Richard Fleming, both of KPMG LLP, were appointed in the High Court as Joint Administrators of Empire Direct Plc on 19 January 2009. The business is unable to trade in administration due to low stock levels and operating losses and accordingly the stores have been closed. The administrators are working hard to assess the position for customers who have made payments and not received goods. We will endeavour to contact these customers over the next few weeks.

Didn't hear about any sales, apparently all stores have just closed

She went in before the new year and told them that the stiching was tearing on ours, and they told her to pick a replacement. It came last friday and a letter came on the monday saying how the company had gone into recerverchip (sp) and if it hadn't been replaced we could get a refund but it would have to go to the courts to get our money back. At the bottom of the letter it said that all the stores would be operating as usual as there is a possable buyer been found.
