TG Jones plan cuts small supplier payments

TG Jones plan cuts small supplier payments

Smaller firms could get back only part of what they're owed if the rescue goes ahead, while some contracts may receive no repayment at all. Creditors will vote on a restructuring proposal for the former WH Smith high street chain, now called TG Jones, after owner Modella Capital backed the business with £35m. Help for Heroes is among the affected suppliers, and the retailer runs 450 shops.
