Job cuts at music shop Zavvi after firm is forced to call in the administrators

Dec 26 2008 by Andy Richards, Birmingham Mail

MORE than 3,400 workers at entertainment retailer Zavvi are suffering a miserable Christmas after the firm collapsed into administration.

The music, films and games chain became the third major retailer in 24 hours to call in the administrators.

Zavvi – the former Virgin Megastore chain with 125 stores - called in Ernst & Young on Christmas Eve after it was crippled by the collapse of Woolworths’ wholesaling division.
