It employs around 1,400 people.
The homewares company, which has been trading for 93 years, said that it had filed a "notice of intention" to appoint administrators. "However, this offer could not be executed in the timelines required, which is why we took the difficult decision this week to file an NOI," Mr Jackson added.However, in 2012 it was forced to file for administration and was rescued by American Greetings, a supplier owned by the US-based Weiss family.The family rescued Clintons from administration again in 2019.
