Major clothing retailer to close 23 stores after going into administration
Troubled high street fashion chain Quiz Clothing is set to close more than a third of its branches after crashing into insolvency.
The company, known for affordable partywear recently called in administrators after struggling to turn around a decline in business the last few years.
The chain counted around 65 standalone stores and dozens of concession outlets, employing around 1,500 people.
A deal to rescue the brand will reportedly see 23 of those stores shuttered, with 200 employees laid off.
The remaining 42 stores are to be bought by a subsidiary company run by the founding Quiz family.
This will result in around 531 employees being moved to the company, Orion, as first reported by Sky News.
Quiz is said to have struggled with a post-pandemic shift towards more casual clothing, as well as wider challenges to the high street.
CEO Sheraz Ramzan said insolvency practitioners Teneo were called in due to ‘continuing challenging trading conditions impacting the group’s performance’.
Meanwhile, New Look announced it will wind down its entire business in the Republic of Ireland due to ‘challenging market conditions’.
This means 26 stores will close, making 347 workers redundant.

First look at Alton Towers’ new Toxicator ride and its opening next month
ALTON Towers has released first look pictures of its latest thrill ride Toxicator ahead of the new season.
The new topspin ride stands a whopping 78ft tall and will be the first of its kind in the country.
Daredevils will be seated back-to-back before being flipped around and held face down over a “pool of toxic alien acid”.
The new ride will put riders through heart-pounding centrifugal forces from the spin patterns.
Riders will be able to ride Toxicator from Saturday, March 15.
Now, new drone footage released by Alton Towers shows impressive views over the Staffordshire countryside from the top of the ride.
Reportedly, the Toxicator will be the only topspin ride in the world to be elevated above ground level.
This means other park-goers will be able to watch the ride from underneath.
When it opens, the Toxicator will stand at 78ft (23m), making it the highest ride of its kind at Alton Towers.
The new ride will be located in the Forbidden Valley, next to the newly-reopened Nemesis Reborn, and it will be able to accommodate 500 riders per hour.
And customers can also experience it in the dark as part of the Alton After Dark event.
Only park-goers who are taller than 1.4m will be allowed to ride Toxicator and tickets are now on sale.
Bianca Sammut, Vice President of Alton Towers Resort, previously said: “We’re excited to be giving fans a flavour of the truly ‘spincredible’ power of Toxicator.
“From March 15 those brave enough to submit to the spin will be able to experience the latest that Forbidden Valley has to offer.”
Alton Towers is home to plenty of adrenaline-inducing rides, including Nemesis Reborn, The Smiler and Oblivion.
And Toxicator isn’t the only new attraction set to open at the Staffordshire-based theme park in the future.
For younger park-goers, there’s also CBeebies Land, which is set to get a new junior rollercoaster next year.
The theme park revealed the news via Instagram on December 20, 2024.
Use these tips on your next theme park trip
Next time you visit a theme park, you may want to use our top tips to make the most of your adrenaline-inducing day out.
- Go to the back of the theme park first. Rides at the front will have the longest queues as soon as it opens.
- Go on water rides in the middle of the day in the summer – this will cool you off when the sun is at its hottest.
- Download the park’s app to track which rides have the shortest queues.
- Visit on your birthday, as some parks give out “birthday badges” that can get you freebies.
- If it rains, contact the park. Depending on how much it rained, you may get a free ticket to return.
CBeebies Land first opened in 2014 and is currently home to 13 family-friendly rides.
At the end of last year, Alton Towers announced it would be closing its oldest ride permanently.
Meanwhile, here’s an exciting new look at the nearly-completed Epic Universe, which will open later this year.

Why has Neighbours been cancelled and when is the last episode of the Australian soap?
RAMSAY Street has been home to the cast of Neighbours for decades, but sadly for viewers, time is once again up for the soap.
In February 2025, The Sun exclusively revealed that the beloved Australian show is being axed for a second time – here’s everything you need to know.
Why has Neighbours been cancelled?
The announcement came after production company Fremantle failed to agree a new deal with Amazon, just two years after the streaming service brought the soap back.
A source said: ”Amazon gave Fremantle two years to see if it worked but sadly they just didn’t get the viewers.
”It’s a really sad day especially for the cast and crew who work on the show in Melbourne.
”This really is the end of Neighbours just as it’s celebrated its 40th birthday.”
The soap was cancelled by Channel 5 in 2022, before it was later brought back by Amazon.
Channel 5 first began broadcasting the show in 2008, after taking over from the BBC.
Reacting to the news of the axing, one fan took to X and wrote: ”It’s never a good day when a soap is cancelled #Neighbours.”
A second viewer wrote: ”Sad news about Neighbours again been axed from Amazon hope it can be saved again.”
And a third said: ”I can’t believe @neighbours is going to be axed again #Neighbours.”
Final episode
The soap has been a fan favourite both here and across the pond since it first aired in 1985.
Production is now set to come to a close this summer with the final ever episode being aired at the end of the year.
A-list stars
Over the years, viewers have welcomed and waved goodbye to plenty of Ramsay Street residents.
During that time, the soap has been pivotal in the careers of many A-list stars including Margot Robbie who starred as Donna Freedman.
She was on the show from 2008 until 2011, before starring in Martin Scorsese’s blockbuster The Wolf Of Wall Street in 2013.
Speaking on her time on the soap, Margot admitted that she repeatedly cold-called the casting office until she was put through.
She recalled: ”I don’t know why, I think it was a mistake.
”They asked: ‘How old are you?’ and I said: ‘I’m 17.’
”She said: ‘Oh, we need a 17-year-old girl right now, so come in next week.”
Other big names to have emerged from the show include Russell Crowe, Natalie Imbruglia, Kylie Minogue, Liam Hemsworth, and Holly Valance.
