Western Sydney outlets out of work.

 

Four franchise outlets of a major national chain that sells clothes and work boots for tradies have collapsed, with landlords locking up the stores.

 

Totally Workwear branches in Hoxton Park, Narellan, Eastern Creek and North Parramatta, in Sydney's west and south-west, have ceased trading and eviction notices have been stuck to the doors, according to media reports.

 

Staff at the Hoxton Park franchise received an email earlier this month telling them they were out of a job.

 

“As you all know, we have encountered immense and considerable financial issues which have now caused us to cease trading,' the email read, news.com.au reported.

 

"As a result, we need to stand down all employees. We do take into consideration that there has been a pay cycle not met.

 

“We are currently dealing with administrators and liquidators, and are in the process of selling our businesses,” the email stated.

 

The impacted stores have not yet entered administration. 

 

One worker, who chose not to be named, said she noticed as far back as September that stock was not being replenished.

 

Totally Workwear has 90 stores across Australia.
