Burger chain Byron last week launched plans for a company voluntary arrangement in order to slash rent terms. The business was bought in 2013 by Hutton Collins in a deal worth £100m while a string of casual dining names including Côte, Prezzo, Strada and Ask were all gobbled up in a debt-fuelled acquisition frenzy.

George Mills, part of the restructuring team at accountancy giant EY, said it had put more resources into covering the restaurant sector in recent months.

We have focused on it because it is an area we think will be under a lot of pressure for obvious reasons, he said.

The reduction in consumer spending and uncertainty ahead of Brexit means it is definitely on the radar of my team and others in the industry.

The government is holding talks with the construction and outsourcing firm Carillion, in a last-ditch attempt to stave off the collapse of a company responsible for crucial services in schools, hospitals and prisons.

With the accountancy firm EY lined up to manage an administration that could be triggered as soon as Monday, a rescue deal is expected to hinge on whether the government is willing to help prop up the company.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board has announced that it will introduce mobile courts at cricket stadiums in an innovative attempt to prevent gambling from taking place at the upcoming tri-nations series against Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe.

An Extreme Reaction?

Under the new system, individuals that are caught betting within the stadiums when the games are being played will be tried on the spot by judges being transported around in the mobile courts.

This decision comes after intricate gambling laws within Bangladesh saw almost 80 spectators kicked out of live matches for betting using their mobile phone devices during the last season of the T20 Premier League.

FRANKFURT (Reuters) – A major shareholder in Thyssenkrupp has criticized Chief Executive Heinrich Hiesinger for failing to achieve his own profit targets, raising tensions before the German industry groups annual meeting next Friday.

Swedish investor Cevian reiterated its call to restructure Thyssenkrupp, in which it controls an 18 percent stake, piling pressure on Hiesinger as he tries to complete a merger of its steel business with that of Indias Tata Steel.

Thyssenkrupp is not developing in the way we expected. Something has to change in the structure of the business, Lars Foerberg, co-founder of Cevian, told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung.

Separately, the Spiegel news weekly reported that Hiesinger would tell shareholders…

More layoffs{ }expected at Wal-Mart. (KATV photo)

LITTLE ROCK, Ar. (Talk Business & Politics) Wal-Mart Stores is again scaling back its corporate workforce as the retailer reportedly will eliminate its jewelry business and decrease the number of co-managers per store, and reduce areas such as direct-store-delivery receiving, according to persons familiar with the changes.

The reduction has been the norm for the retail giant who said a year ago it was continually looking for ways to run a leaner operation as it invests in e-commerce capabilities. Wal-Marts fiscal year ends Jan. 31 and the latest restructuring falls in line with the time frame when the company usually does scale back.
