Wilko's administrator says firms are 'interested' in the company's former HQ as it attempts to pay back creditors who are owed more than £300m. Wilko's administrators, PricewaterhouseCoopers, have issued an update on the winding up of the failed retail company, which was based out of Manton Wood enterprise park in Worksop until its collapse last year.
In a Companies House document, submitted by PwC, the firm outlined it was now attempting to sell Wilko's head office at JK House in Worksop. "There has already been some interest in the property, with a number of parties having viewed the site and more viewings scheduled," its report explained.PwC added a further update would be provided in its next report.
Marketer Sanderson Weatherall added the "site may lend itself to redevelopment," with 12.24 acres of additional woodland also up for sale separately. PwC explained it was currently attempting to fully separate the old headquarters from the nearby DC1 facility, operated by DHL, "due to the legal requirement to separate the shared services before a sale concludes".
