Dixons Carphone is poised to offer a lifeline to hundreds of employees of Phones 4u after the UK's second-largest mobile phone chain collapsed into administration.
Sky News has learnt that Dixons Carphone is preparing to issue a statement later on Monday in which it will highlight at least 1,500 employment vacancies at Carphone Warehouse stores, for which affected Phones 4u staff will be eligible to apply.
The 1,500 jobs, which were previously announced by the company, include vacancies at 30 Carphone-branded concessions inside Currys and PC World stores that will open before Christmas.
The newly merged retail group is also understood to be planning to say that it will honour all warranty and mobile phone upgrade commitments made to customers at the roughly 160 concessions operated by Phones4u within Dixons Carphone's stores across the UK.
