A report from administrators at KPMG has shown that Beales’ unsecured creditors are owed around £17.6 million.

KPMG said unsecured creditors – which includes suppliers, fashion concessions, staff and landlords – are expected to receive a dividend.

However, the administrators were “not yet able to confirm the quantum or timing of any distribution”.

Some of the creditors which are owed the most amount of money include Barbour, which is owed £218,500, Phase Eight which is owed £112,600, Dorothy Perkins which is owed £73,800, Hobbs which is owed £76,400 and Hotter which is owed £57,200.

The full list of creditors can be found at Companies House.

The news comes after the final batch of 11 Beales department stores permanently shut down on March 19, two weeks earlier than planned after the coronavirus pandemic prompted a nosedive in trading.

The closures brought an end to trading for good for the 139-year-old retailer, and all remaining employees were made redundant.

Before it appointed KPMG as administrators in January, Beales employed 1050 shop floor staff across 23 stores.

The department store chain fell into administration after talks with potential buyers faltered.

Michael Law Although most Americans have now heard about CBD, many are very confused and concerned about product quality. This is inhibiting trial in the category and holding back conversion into sales. In fact, a 2017 study by Johns Hopkins University found that two out of three CBD products on the shelf did not contain the amount of CBD reflected on the label. Furthermore, in 2018 and 2019, the FDA sent notices to a substantial number of CBD manufacturers advising them of serious concerns about product quality or egregious medical claims. The impirica brand looks different than most CBD brands — the brand name itself connotes testing and trust, says Eagle Labs chief commercial officer Michael Law. “It doesn’t use the traditional category colors of browns and greens, and you won’t find a hemp...
