The Insolvency Service has confirmed that administrators were appointed to Wilko Limited, Wilko.com Limited, and Wilkinson Hardware Stores Limited. On 23 August 2023, administrators were also appointed over Kin Limited. At present, Wilko retail shops and offices will not be closed immediately. The administrators are closing sites as and when required.
This will be a hugely worrying time for employees of Wilko, as well as their customers and suppliers. Government will do all it can to support them.
If you are an employee, customer or supplier of Wilko, this page will provide you with the advice and information.
