Mark Kleinman: A Poundland probe should not be discounted - City AM — Poundland's Difficulties

Poundland is dealing with increasing financial and operational problems as a result of Labour's financial strategies. The UK government is assessing the company's financial health, and there are rising worries about its possible failure. The business secretary has written to Poundland's director amid rising fears of liquidation. Retail investors are also investigating opportunities in city centre properties as the chain's outlook remains uncertain.
