Poundland is offering over 200 jobs to ex-Wilko employees after buying 71 Wilko stores last month.
Last month, Poundland bought up to 71 Wilko stores from administrator PwC following the collapse of the high street chain.No ex-Wilko employees were directly transferred to Poundland but the discount chain encouraged former employees to apply for the roles.On Tuesday, Poundland said the number of job offers will increase “day by day”.
More stores are set to open on October 7 in Melton Mowbray, Matlock, Chepstow, Nottingham, Worcester, Ellesmere Port, Brigg, Redruth, Ferndown and Pontypool."But they worked hard because we meant what we said about moving quickly to create jobs for Wilko colleagues. "I know from meeting our new colleagues from Wilko, how delighted they were to welcome customers old and new back to their store last weekend - and that's inspiring us to keep the pace up and bring the amazing value we promise to more high streets this Saturday.
