Jobs safe

OLDHAM’S Clintons Cards branch has been saved after a buyer was found for the ailing high street retailer.

Clintons Cards’ assets, brands and remaining 397 stores, including Oldham, have now been sold to Lakeshore Lending Limited, a subsidiary of American Greetings Corporation. The sale will save around 4,500 jobs across the UK.

Peter Saville, from administrators Zolfo Cooper said: “We have always been of the view here was a strong underlying business contained within Clinton Cards.”
