It is estimated around 2,400 staff will retain their jobs under the deal with Breal Capital and Calveton. Among the 35 restaurants closing down is the branch at Hagley Road in Birmingham which was the first TGI Fridays restaurant in the UK, opening in 1986.

The decision to close down the restaurants was slammed as a ‘disgrace’ by unions. Bryan Simpson, Unite Union’s lead organiser for hospitality, said: "To close venues and lock people out of their workplace with absolutely no notice is a moral outrage."

Daniel Smith, senior managing director of Teneo, who has been appointed joint administrator of the business, said the rescue deal agreed with Breal Capital and Calveton UK, would keep the brand alive in the UK.

He said: “"The casual dining sector has been adversely impacted by well-publicised pressures on discretionary spend. This transaction with Breal Capital and Calveton UK preserves a significant proportion of jobs and will hopefully provide the business with the stability and support it needs to recover and grow. We thank all employees and other key stakeholders for their support at this difficult time."

Julie McEwan, CEO of TGI Fridays UK, said: "TGI Fridays is a much-loved brand with a rich heritage. The news today marks the start of a positive future for our business following a very challenging period for the casual dining sector as a whole. We look to the future with confidence that the TGI Fridays brand will continue to attract loyal and new guests."

She added: "We are devastated for our colleagues who will be leaving TGIs and thank them for their loyalty and contribution during their time with us.”
