The group employs nearly 12,500 people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1kas69x\">Doug Putman, the owner of HMV in the UK and Toys R Us in Canada, is understood to have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/business\/2023\/aug\/25\/wilko-rescue-deal-canadian-entrepreneur-union-employees\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">increased his bid<\/a> on Friday\u2019s deadline, offering to take on up to 350 of Wilko\u2019s 400 stores and ensure the main creditors \u2013 led by the restructuring specialist Hilco \u2013 were paid.
