Play.com makes 214 staff redundant

Online music and computer game seller Play.com is to make more than 200 staff redundant with the closure of its retail arm, a move it says is due to the Government ending a VAT loophole.

The company, which was one of the first online retailers when it launched in 1998, will lay off 67 workers from its Cambridge and Bristol bases and 147 in Jersey.
