Dozens of Virgin Media stores are set to close across the country putting over 100 jobs at risk, it's been announced.
The broadband TV, and phone services firm has said salesman and manager positions are most at risk, with the roll-out of 25 store closures set to start from as early as next month.
A spokesman for the firm told Mirror Online on Wednesday it had carried out a "thorough review" of sales operations, looking at the performance of its retail stores and kiosks.
In the North West, stores are to close in Blackburn, Blackpool, Wigan, while in Yorkshire and the Humber, closures include stores in Grimsby, Huddersfield and Leeds St Johns.
He said: “We are now consulting with our people and are supporting employees impacted by the proposal, including identifying opportunities to move to new roles within Virgin Media.
"Our proposal will see us retain 53 retail outlets across the UK from which we can continue to serve our customers and we’re focused on making those stores a fantastic place for our customers to engage with our sales teams and to experience first-hand our amazing products and services.
"This is happening alongside investment in our online sales and customer service channels."
