29 October 2025
As the UK retail sector continues to face economic headwinds, the judgment on Poundland's restructuring plan highlights the flexibility of the UK’s restructuring regime in preserving businesses and protecting jobs.
While the outcome of the case was known back in August, the published reasons now provide valuable insight into why the court approved the plan seeking to secure the future of over 800 stores and 13,000+ jobs across the UK and Ireland. Backed by Poundland’s new owners and supported by its former parent, the plan aims to deliver a fair and balanced outcome for creditors and landlords—combining immediate financial stability with a path to long-term recovery.
