33 Russell & Bromley stores at risk after Next buyout

Next has bought Russell & Bromley after the footwear and handbag retailer fell into administration.

However, the UK retail giant said it would only buy three of the group’s 36 stores as part of the rescue deal.

As a result, the future of its remaining 33 stores and nine concessions is uncertain, putting hundreds of jobs at risk.
