Ban on Comet gift cards is lifted by administrators
Deloitte, which was appointed last week, is hunting for a buyer for the business in a bid to protect some 6,600 jobs at the 236-outlet chain.
Vouchers purchased and paid for in full by customers can be used again after the administrators suspended their use as they assessed the business.

Neville Kahn at Deloitte, said: “We recognise that the temporary suspension of gift cards has caused concern and anxiety to those customers affected. In the short time available since our appointment, the Administrators have worked urgently to bring clarity to this matter.”
