“Wilko secures £40m funding from Hilco as it faces cash squeeze”
“The group slid to a £36.8m pre-tax loss in the year to the end of January 2022 from a £2.5m profit a year before, after a near 3% fall in sales to £1.3bn. Despite that, Wilko paid its owners, led by the Wilkinson family, £2.25m in the year to the end of January last year and a further £750,000 in February.”
