As many as 6,000 jobs at risk

“The approval of the CVAs is a seminal moment in House of Fraser’s history,” said chairman Frank Slevin, adding: “We must now continue with the implementation of our restructuring plan. This is also an important milestone in the transaction with C.banner and moves us toward the completion of the capital injection first announced in May.”
