Jobs at risk as fashion chain d2 collapses into administration

Ayrshire-headquartered fashion clothing chain d2 yesterday became the latest major high street casualty, with some 300 jobs in Scotland and a total of about 800 posts under threat as a result of its collapse into administration.

d2 was formed in 1999 with the combination by high-profile entrepreneur Sir Tom Hunter of former Fosters Menswear shops and Alan Kinney and Jim McGonigle’s Jeans for Sale outlets, and expanded in 2000 with the purchase of some Jeanster stores.
