B&Q has confirmed their Rochdale store will be closing. The home improvement retailer said they would be seeking to redeploy as many employees as possible.

Kingfisher, B&Q’s parent company, is currently restructuring its presence in Britain, with plans to close 60 stores in the UK.

Speaking to Rochdale Online, a B&Q spokesperson commented: “We have let colleagues at our Rochdale store know that their store is one of those planned for closure next financial year (2016/17). Our focus for the coming months is on redeploying as many colleagues as we can within B&Q and the Kingfisher Group.”
