Wilko, the struggling homewares retailer, appears to be on the brink of insolvency, with plans to appoint PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) as administrators expected to be executed imminently. The potential insolvency threatens 12,000 jobs and marks a significant setback for the family-owned chain, becoming one of the most substantial casualties in the retail sector in recent years.
