DOZENS of jobs in Somerset are at risk after it was announced the High Street electrical retailer Comet is expected to enter administration next week.
Comet, which has stores in Taunton, Bridgwater and Yeovil, is owned by private equity firm OpCapita, which in turn has lined up Deloitte to act as administrator.
Despite the impending administration, customers with outstanding orders are being reassured that it is "business as normal until further notice".
Analysts say the collapse of Comet is one of the biggest in the British retail sector since Woolworths entered administration in 2008.
Concerned customers are asked to call 0844-8009595.
