Who's Gone Bust in Retailing 2010-18? March 2018 2018 Note that this list and similar lists for 2007 to 2010 relate primarily to medium or large retail businesses. We do not include takeovers unless we see this as being equivalent to business failure. Please read the legal stuff below. As we all know these days, failure is often a temporary inconvenience; we are not suggesting that these businesses no longer survive, simply that they have experienced difficulties and the people with slide rules have moved in at some time. We have put the pre-2010 list of companies in administration into the Section on Previous Reports. 2007-2018 Review Companies failing Stores Affected Employees Affected 2018 (March) 12 476 8,036 2017 (12 months) 44 1,383 12,225 2016 (12 months) 30 1,504 26,110 2015 (12 months) 25 728 6,845 2014 (12 months) 43 1,314 12,335 2013 (12 months) 49 2,500 25,140 2012 (12 months) 54 3,951 48,142 2011 (12 months) 31 2,469 24,025 2010 (12 months) 26 944 10,930 2009 (12 months) 37 6,536 26,688 2008 (12 months) 54 5,793 74,539 2007 (12 months) 25 2,600 14,083 Analysis of the Main Retail Failures 2008-2018 The Centre has analysed the main retail failures in the period since the recession.
