Company Voluntary Agreements (CVAs) are an insolvency process specific to the UK. According to GOV.UK, they provide a way for businesses to pay off their debts over a fixed period.

Select will soon be replaced by a brand-new clothing shop called C&S. Although the exact opening date has not been announced, the retailer is said to be opening ‘soon.’

Andy Talbot, Senior Asset Manager at West Orchards, told CoventryLive: “Select closed last Friday (June 21) and handed the keys back on Monday (June 24). We understand Select is in a CVA. A new business C&S will be opening a fashion outlet soon.”
