Menswear chain Roger David will close its doors for good within weeks, after administrators were unable to find new owners for the collapsed retailer.

The 76-year-old company called in administrators KordaMentha last month, saying its 57 stores could not compete with "the influx of multinational retailers and the rapid, global evolution of online shopping".

KordaMentha said last week there had been some interest from potential buyers, who recognised the strength of its brand and customer loyalty.

But on Thursday morning, KordaMentha said the fashion retail environment was "too tough" to make any of the potential deals work, and that all stores would be closed by early to mid-December.
