AROUND thirty jobs at HMV Chelmsford are to be saved after the music company was bought by Hilco today.
Staff at the High Chelmer store breathed a sigh of relief after the announcement that Hilco had acquired 132 HMV shops across the UK, potentially saving 2,500 jobs.
In January it was announced that the firm, the last record shop chain on the High Street, had gone into administration.
HMV Chelmsford said on its Twitter feed: "It's official, HMV has been bought by Hilco and is now out of administration! It looks like you will start to see a newer, fresher business."
