Morrisons, a grocery giant based in Yorkshire, purchased the baby products retailer in 2011 in an effort to expand its presence online. After striking a £216m online shopping deal with Ocado, the company announced in March that Kiddicare no longer fit with its strategy and accepted a £163m writedown on the loss-making business.
Morrisons has retained the liabilities for ten Kiddicare store leases.
