A major fashion retailer is set to disappear from the high street after failing to secure a long-term rescue.
The move will see dozens of stores shut their doors for good within weeks.
Fashion chain Quiz will permanently close its remaining 37 stores before the end of June, administrators have confirmed.
Advisory firm Interpath, which took control of the womenswear retailer in February, said the final stores will be wound down over the coming weeks as part of an orderly closure process.
The shutdown has already started, with branches in Belfast's CastleCourt shopping centre, Leeds and Romford closing in recent days.
Quiz entered insolvency proceedings earlier this year after poor trading over the Christmas period and continued difficulties across the retail sector.
