UK kitchen retailer falls into administration resulting in 124 job losses
Wren Kitchens acquired Moores' customer list and intellectual property, retaining 336 staff while 124 redundancies occurred due to sector challenges, administrators said.
- Moores Furniture Group entered administration on January 19, 2026, with James Clark and Will Wright of Interpath appointed joint administrators and 124 jobs lost.
- Administrators pointed to challenging trading conditions, rising input costs and low housebuilding activity over recent months, with James Clark saying strong headwinds hit firms across the UK construction industry supply chain.
- Around 336 Moores employees have been kept on to finish ongoing projects, and joint administrators Clark and Will Wright will run the Wetherby facility for a short period.
- The administrators sold customer data and IP to Wren Kitchens to safeguard ongoing customer relationships, and Interpath said the deal helps minimise disruption and preserve Moores' manufacturing heritage.
- Moores' collapse comes amid a spate of retail administrations in the opening weeks of 2026, with Russell & Bromley last week and Claire's and The Original Factory Shop earlier this month putting more than 2,500 jobs at risk.
