A luxury jewellery retailer has gone into administration - but its only Kent store is remaining open.

Links of London has appointed Deloitte as administrators to try to secure a rescue deal following a failed sale process.

The chain has 28 standalone stores across the country including one at the Ashford Designer Outlet.

The company's website has been suspended, but its stores will remain open.

It is not known how many staff are employed at the Ashford store, but 350 jobs are at risk across the country.

A message on the website reads: "Links (London) Limited entered administration on October 8.

"Following appointment of the joint administrators, the company's website has unfortunately been temporarily suspended until further notice and therefore is unable to process any online sales.

"Please visit your local Links store."
