Wilson Field appointed as bridal firm enters administration

Berketex had 15 branches across the UK, including concessions in Debenhams with shops in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester, Sheffield, Bristol, Leeds, Newcastle, Birmingham, Nottingham, Leicester, Croyden, London’s West End, Chester and Dublin.

The firm said its 11 outlets in the UK and one in Dublin would be closed from Tuesday and would not reopen.

It has been in existence for more than 50 years selling wedding dresses, bridesmaids’ dresses and other accessories.

The company said its director wished to express his “sincere apologies for the abrupt closure of the store”.

Administrators Wilson Field said they appreciated that the closure would be “distressing” for customers and would deal with individual queries as quickly as possible.
