ONE of East Yorkshire's largest independent retailers faces the threat of being wound up, it has emerged.

Ebuyer, which has employed as many as 200 people directly in recent years, has been issued with a winding up petition by its landlord property investment company Urban Logistics Acquisitions 6 Limited.

Details of why the winding up petition has been issued have not been made public. The action follows a challenging period for Ebuyer, which shed 50 jobs in 2023 amid a fall in turnover from £174.2m to £136.5m and operating losses of £1.8m.
