A POTENTIAL owner was last night being sought for the business and assets of the Adams childrenswear retail chain, after it went into administration for the second time in just over a year.

Administrator MCR said significant interest had already been shown and he hoped the business could be sold as a going concern.

Adams is owned by JS Childrenswear, which bought Adams Childrenswear from administration a year ago. It has 107 stores in the UK employing more than 1,100 staff
