The poor quality footage, which has been posted on Youtube, was filmed by one of the workers during the meeting in which the administration was announced.

In it, you can clearly hear a representative of the company explaining the decision and the anger and confusion of the staff as they come to terms with it.

The clothing firm, which makes women's underwear, nightwear and hosiery for international brands including Pretty Polly, closed last week ending a 200 year association with the Derbyshire town of Belper.
