Parragon Books Announced Potential Closure
Book company Parragon announced its intention to enter into consultation about the potential closure of the business (27th February 2018).
The Bath-based book business has been challenged, underperforming for a number of years due to difficult market conditions and severe pressure on margins.
Over recent months, Parragon and DC Thomson have committed significant resource and investment to analyse all options for the future commercial viability of the business.
No other parts of the DC Thomson group are affected by this and DC Thomson is fully committed to supporting Parragon and everyone involved in the Parragon business throughout this process.
