“We will update you closer to the time, of our actual closing date.
“We hope you will appreciate this is also a very difficult time for staff working in the stores and we ask for respect and understanding when raising an issue.
“We thank you all for your continuous support, and we hope to see you all over the next couple of months.”

I am sorry for those who will loose their jobs and I hope in a booming Shetland they will be employed soon
Regards the building I feel aesthetically it destroyed a beautiful water front by creating a cell block H image. Whatever happens now I hope there can be an improvement on the look of the building as it is so cold and uninviting
