A long-established Glasgow furniture business is closing its city centre showroom after 27 years of trading at the premises.

Hampton & McMurray, which traces its roots back to 1952 and first traded on Sauchiehall Street, is shutting its shop at 134 Renfrew Street permanently at the end of June.

The company has been owned by the Richardson family since 1984 and cited the evolution of the retail market, disruption caused by roadworks, and the challenges posed by traffic restrictions and parking costs among the reasons for the closure.

Three members of staff have "unfortunately" been made redundant as a result.

The Richardson family will continue to operate its Hunter Furnishing business in Ayr.

In a post on Instagram, the company said: "Everything must go as Hampton & McMurray prepares to close its doors for good."

Customers have been urged to "take advantage of huge reductions across our remaining showroom collection, including luxury furniture, stylish décor, and home essentials" ahead of the permanent closure.
