Evoke plans to close about 200 William Hill shops in the UK
Evoke told staff it plans to close approximately 200 UK retail shops from May, the company said. The closures represent roughly 15% of its retail estate and form part of a strategic review that may include asset disposals. Evoke cited cost pressures, including tax increases announced in the government’s autumn budget.
The planned closures will reduce Evoke’s UK retail estate and affect retail colleagues as the company reviews its options.
