Calvetron, the company behind Windsmoor and Jacques Vert, has entered administration, putting over 1,000 jobs at risk. The retailer received a £12.5m loan from Secure Trust Bank last summer to try and turn around its fortunes, but rising labour costs and a shift in consumer spending habits have taken their toll. The collapse of partners House of Fraser and Debenhams has further magnified the issues faced by Calvetron. Retail Sector awaits a formal response from the company.
