Another 464 jobs axed as 37 HMV shops close

Another 464 jobs face the axe at failed music chain HMV after administrators announced the closure of a further 37 stores.

Deloitte said the stores would close over the next four to six weeks and would probably lead to all affected staff being made redundant, although it would try to relocate employees to other stores where possible.

The blow will leave around 116 stores in the HMV chain, after Deloitte said 66 stores would close earlier this month, affecting nearly 1,000 staff.
