The troubled budget retailer Wilko is going into administration, putting more than 12,000 jobs at risk after it failed to agree a rescue deal.

The family-owned household and garden products retailer, which has about 400 stores, is expected to have to close dozens of outlets, leaving big gaps on high streets after weeks of talks with interested parties.

We want to hear from people who work at Wilko. How long have you worked and there and how will you be affected? What have you been told by your employer? Are you concerned for your job?
