Byron in financial trouble seeks cuts in rents

Geoff Riley

9th January 2018

The restaurant chain Byron is in financial trouble and is seeking to negotiate reductions in rent on a sizeable number of their leased properties in a bid to reduce fixed costs and losses.

If they enter into a rescue package agreement with creditors, it is likely that 15 of their 70 restaurants will close. Byrin is not alone in being affected by higher food costs (in part caused by rising import prices because of the fall in sterling) along with a softening of consumer confidence.
