River Island currently has more than 220 stores across the UK and Ireland and employs around 5,500 people.

However, the high street fashion chain revealed back in August that it was preparing to close 33 stores as part of a restructuring plan (which was approved by the High Court).

The restructuring plan is aimed at preventing River Island from collapsing into administration, and comes after a decline in footfall and sales.
