G-room in liquidation

Men’s fashion and lifestyle retailer G-room, whose directional store on Carnaby was one of Soho ‘s most aspiring menswear stores, has gone into liquidation. The boutique, founded by Andrew Hampson in September 2004, sold men’s fashion, accessories, beauty and gadgets and was considering launching concessions in formidable department stores nationwide.

The plans, however, never materialised, and managing director Michael Pike resigned from the company several weeks ago and Hampson was unavailable for contact. Kingston Smith & Partner has been appointed as liquidator.
