Rickmansworth's TGJones store will close after today (October 17) as it becomes the latest to be axed as part of the chain's cost-cutting measures.

The branch in High Street is one of around 150 being lost, with the Harlequin Watford location and connected Post Office also set to close early next year.

Last month, a TGJones spokesperson said: "As we work to secure the long-term future of TGJones, we have confirmed that our Rickmansworth store will close.

"We know this will be disappointing news for our colleagues, customers, and the local community. Our focus now is on supporting those affected and continuing to serve customers throughout the closure period.

"We would like to thank all of our colleagues for their commitment and the contribution they have made to TGJones."

The struggling firm is closing stores as part of restructuring plans the company said were necessary after the last 12 months of "highly challenging trading conditions".

Chief executive officer Alex Wilson said: "These decisions follow a detailed review of store performance and long-term sustainability, and they have not been taken lightly."
