Designer clothing shop Ted Baker is set to close its Nottingham store this month after the brand fell into administration. The luxury clothing brand entered administration last month, when No Ordinary Designer Label (NODL), owned by Authentic Brands Group (ABG) and trading as Ted Baker, appointed consulting firm Teneo to oversee the process.
The administrators have now confirmed the brand's only standalone Nottinghamshire location, which is on Bridlesmith Gate in Nottingham city centre, will be closed within the next two weeks. In total across Ted Baker's UK 86 stores, 145 redundancies are now expected to be made, with 120 store staff alongside 25 head office roles set to go. All 11 of the closing stores are expected to be permanently shut by Friday, April 19.
