(Alliance News) - Games Workshop Group PLC on Tuesday said it will be suspending its operations worldwide amid the coronavirus outbreak.
The battle-games company said trading in the nine months to the end of February was in line with expectations. However, in March, since the Covid-19 outbreak has spread more widely, the company's performance globally has been hurt.
Games Workshop said it will be temporarily closing all of its stores, headquarters, factory and warehouses with immediate effect.
The company highlighted that its priority is the health and wellbeing of the staff, their families and its customers.
FTSE 250-listed Games Workshop shares were trading 1.4% higher in London on Tuesday at 4,354.00 pence each.
