Elverys Sports attracts interest

Several investors have expressed interest in the Elverys Sports operating company, which employs 654 people in 56 stores across the country.

The High Court was told this yesterday as it confirmed an examiner had been appointed to the company.

Mr Justice Brian McGovern said he was satisfied to confirm Simon Coyle of Mazars as examiner and would continue court protection to allow for preparation of a survival scheme for Staunton Sports.
