Virgin Media set to vanish from UK high street

Quote:

Virgin Media, the UK cable operator that is part of the Liberty Global empire, is not going to reopen its 53 high street stores even when the COVID-19 crisis has passed, according to a Guardian report. The 341 staff affected by the decision will be offered newly created jobs, mainly as home-based customer-care assistants, though some will transfer to field sales roles. The move is the logical conclusion to a program of store closures Virgin had already embarked on as sales and customer service moves increasingly online – it had 140 UK stores in 2016.

Not sure I'm surprised.
