Workers at a High Wycombe store look set to lose their jobs after administrators announced today the business could not be saved.

BHS, which has a store in the Eden shopping centre, went into administration earlier this year and is to go into an "orderly wind down" after efforts to find a buyer failed, according to national reports.

All 163 stores around the UK will close with the loss of up to 11,000 jobs including 3,000 non-BHS employees who work in the stores.

In a statement, administrators Duff and Phelps said: "Despite the considerable efforts of the administrators and BHS senior management it has not been possible to agree a sale of the business.

"Although multiple offers were received, none were able to complete a deal due the working capital required to secure the future of the company.

"Our thoughts today are with the employees. We thank them for their professionalism and hard work.

"We would also like to thank the great British public for helping us in our efforts to save BHS resulting in several weeks of significant sales."

Neither BHS nor Duff and Phelps could confirm how many people the High Wycombe store employs.
