Staff at high street fashion store have bid an emotional farewell to customers as it prepares to close its doors for the final time.

Staff from the store on Haverhill High Street said many friendships had been 'made for life' at the clothing store, which will close on Saturday April 15.

M&Co will be closing 170 of its high street stores over the next few months. It also has stores in Stowmarket, Beccles, Sudbury, and Diss.

Staff posted on Facebook yesterday: "We are very sad to announce that our final day of trading will be Saturday April 15, when we finally close our doors for good

"With over 84 years of service between the team, we have always enjoyed serving our local community, sharing happy and sad times and a good few laughs along the way with our loyal customers, many friendships made for life.

"We cannot thank you enough for your loyalty in supporting us with our fashion shows, girls nights in, pop up shops, coffee mornings, hampers and raffles and lots more in helping us raise money for charities and bringing the local community together, we know you are as sad as us to be saying farewell.

"It has been an absolute pleasure to be a part of your lives and I'm sure we will still see lots of you around.

"So here's to the future whatever adventures that may come.

"Love, Louise, Sally, Emma, Jan, Michelle, Sharon & Hannah"

M&Co fell into administration for the second time in two years at the start of December.

The brand and intellectual property was sold to Yours Clothing in February but the sale did not include the retailer's physical stores.
