Whiteleys Garden Centre had been trading for more than 25 years when it entered administration on 21 November. Three members of Begbies Traynor have been appointed to handle the administration.
Joint administrator Julian Pitts told Insider Media: “This is a well-established and viable business which has suffered from financial pressures that are not related to its day-to-day operations.
"We are continuing to trade the business and the garden centre will be running as usual while a buyer is sought. We want to reassure customers that the garden centre will be open as normal during the busy Christmas period and its full schedule of festive events will go ahead as planned.”
