Fashion retailer to close all 15 stores after collapsing into liquidation

Leading Labels, founded in 1993, is closing all 15 remaining stores after entering liquidation. The Bolton store closed last month, and Jeremy Bleazard of XL Business Solutions Limited was appointed liquidator on May 26. Companies House records show accounts overdue dating back to 2024. The remaining stores are Basildon, Boston, Bury, Carlisle, Cleethorpes, Clowne, Evesham, Hornsea, Ipswich, Kidderminster, Lincoln, Norwich, Stevenage, Balloch and Cumbernauld in Scotland, with the company website now inactive. The closure marks a broader stress point for UK high street fashion amid ongoing retail difficulties.
