Dearbail Jordan

Dearbail Jordan is a BBC News business reporter. In a published article, he detailed the collapse of British retailer Wilko and its impact on workers, suppliers, and customers. The company's chairperson, Lisa Wilkinson (no relation to the author), expressed her devastation over the situation during testimony before MPs. The retailer's demise was attributed to a variety of factors including the fallout from the UK government's 2022 mini-budget and business decisions made during the COVID-19 pandemic. The article also mentioned that Wilko had more than £100 million in cash at the beginning of 2021 but ultimately reported a £38 million pre-tax loss. The Wilkinson family, which controls the company, paid themselves a dividend of £3 million, though Dearbail Jordan clarified that he had not personally benefitted from the payments. The collapse of Wilko resulted in thousands of workers losing their jobs and multiple other businesses stepping in to take over leases on some of its stores.
