Studio Retail to create 30 jobs as owner Frasers Group makes major purchase

Studio Retail is to create 30 jobs in its first major expansion drive since being rescued by Mike Ashley's Frasers Group in February 2022.

The Lancashire-headquartered company is adding the new roles at its Clayton-le-Moors base.

The office houses Studio Retail's administrative and operational functions and was recently purchased outright by the Frasers Group.

The move comes after BusinessLive reported Studio Retail's CEO had recently stepped down.

The company was bought out of administration by Mike Ashley's Frasers Group towards the end of February 2022.

It was later revealed that the company owed more than £80m when it collapsed and was bought for just £1.

New managing director David Twigg said: "We are continuing to invest in our future in Hyndburn and the addition of 30 new colleagues shows we are in a period of significant growth and transformation.

"There are already over 650 colleagues working just in that building, and we can further develop this as we grow. It's great news for our workforce and a great opportunity for Hyndburn.

"We also have lots of other opportunities right across Studio Retail and I encourage people to take a look on our website."

Head of talent Kate Morgan added: "This is great news for the local area - as one of the borough's largest employers, we will always require great staff and have lots of vacancies including the 30 new ones announced.

"We have a strong programme of people development, and a lovely modern working environment.

"If you have a background in customer service, and are confident and self motivated, please take a look at our website and apply now."
