900 jobs under threat at Habitat

Habitat is set to disappear from everywhere but London in a move threatening around 900 jobs in the UK.

Talks are reportedly under way between current owner Hilco and Home Retail that would see the Homebase and Argos owner buy the UK rights to the Habitat brand and three stores in central London for between £20m (€22.44m) and £30m (€33.67m).
