Chris Wilkinson: First Retail Group Managing Director discusses David Jones closure

New Zealand's only David Jones store, at Westfield Newmarket, is shutting up shop. 

Receivers have begun consulting staff over the proposed closure of 19 stores across Australia and New Zealand.

First Retail Group Managing Director Chris Wilkinson told Mike Hosking that it's a sad development, as David Jones is an institution on both sides of the Tasman. 

"it is sad, it's been such an institution for so many people, including New Zealanders"
