The gift list firm Wrapit has ceased trading after attempts to rescue the business failed. http://tinyurl.com/5hqfgb As well as a central warehouse in Acton, West London, Wrapit had two London showrooms and others scatterd around the UK including one in Manchester.

Is this because fewer couples are getting married?
All that's necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing

I don't think it's connected to the number of marriages. A warehouse, two London showrooms and thirteen others .... that sounds as though there were hefty overheads per week before one customer walked through the door and one item was sold. There's a fair amount of competition in the wedding present trade. Most stores run a wrapping service.
