ONLINE RETAILER APPLICANCES Delivered has announced the business has closed.

In a notice on the Dublin-based company’s website, it said trading conditions and “very challenging market forces” have led to the closure.

A spokesperson for the company said: “Whilst management and staff have done everything to avoid this decision, the business is not sustainable, and the company is now to close.

“We would like to thank all staff and customers for their support over recent years.”

The firm said all outstanding orders of appliances will be honoured and delivered and warranties will still be honoured by manufacturers.

The company advised customers who need to contact the retailer about recently purchased goods, delivery, returns, or warranties to follow links on its website.
