Town have offered interviews to locally-based Poundworld staff who find themselves out of work, the bargain chain having gone into administration with a number of employees laid off.
The initiative was instigated by Blues director of retail Lee Hyde via Twitter earlier today.
Town are currently advertising several off-field vacancies, including some in their Planet Blue store.
Tough times in High Street retailing at the minute. Leaves many out of work, and struggling financially, through no fault of their own. Makes you think; what can I do to help?
Whilst I can’t guarantee a job, I can guarantee an interview. pic.twitter.com/3uumf3WKR2– Lee Hyde (@leehyde30) June 19, 2018
