The Forge Market Village traders rehomed as centre steps in to help local businesses

Traders at an indoor market in The Forge shopping centre have been rehomed after their landlord went into administration.

Market Village at the Parkhead centre is home to over 35 independent retailers. Earlier this month, business owners were told their landlord had gone into liquidation and that the indoor market would cease operating.

Market Village is owned by Geraud UK Ltd - a private operator of local authority markets. According to its website, the firm operates markets across the United Kingdom.

The news left traders stunned, with some forced to clear out their units and risk missing their busiest time of year.

However, The Forge has now confirmed they are working with traders, including beauty salons, food vendors, and other small businesses, to relocate them within the centre.

The. Forge said: "The Centre has been working hard with the Market Village traders to rehome their units within the Centre for Christmas."

They also urged people to "come and support your small local businesses this Christmas."

The vendors that have so far been relocated include The Jewellery Store Scotland, Stadium Signings, Jen's Fancy Dress, and FirstforPhones.
