It has always been the intention to trade some of the stores and I am confident that under this new structure, A to Z will be able to take the Azendi brand forward and develop its potential.” The inability to find a buyer for the rest of the business, has resulted in the closure of the stores located in Aberdeen, Bath, Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Leicester, Liverpool, London Kings Road, London Westfield, Manchester, Milton Keynes, Reading, Richmond, Sheffield Meadowhall and York.Adrian Berry added: “Regrettably, it has not been possible to find a buyer for all of the Azendi business and therefore it was necessary to make a total of 81 employees redundant across the business.
