Fashion retailer Select is preparing to call in administrators, putting 2,000 jobs at risk, it has been revealed.

According to Retail Week, Select filed a notice of intention to appoint an administrator to the high court on Wednesday. Quantuma, the advisory firm, has been lined up to handle the administration process, according to the report.

The notice also prevents creditors from calling in debts for 10 working days.
