MORE than £11,000 is owed to three Andover businesses by Wilko, it can be revealed.
According to its state of affairs, published on Companies House, the former high street retail giant owes £11,360 to three businesses in the town.
The largest amount - £6,120 - is owed to Package Control UK Ltd, based in Unit 3 at Parnell Court in Andover. The company specialises in the making of products for securing and lifting goods, normally within the transport sector.

A total of £5,148 is owed to Vybra Solutions Ltd, in Kingsway, Andover.
The company specialises in providing leading brand, healthy air, heating and cooling solutions for both homes and businesses.
Wilko also owes £92 to Greenbrokers Limited based at Walworth Business Park, in Regents Court, Andover.
The company sells realistic, authentic, life-like artificial plants, trees, flowers and green walls.
Documents released by Wilko’s administrators reveal the budget retail chain owes £157,261,588 to its creditors.
Hundreds of businesses are owed money by the company which collapsed last month after 93 years on the high street.

Administrator PwC was forced to sell off Wilko’s assets after failing to secure a rescue deal, resulting in branches closing across the country, including the Andover Wilko which shut on Thursday, September 21.
Wilko employed 12,500 staff and ran 400 shops but was forced to appoint administrators in August after coming under pressure from weak consumer spending and debts to suppliers.
Roughly 70 stores were sold to the owner of Poundland and a further 51 Wilko sites were sold to B&M European Value Retail.
The Range, another value retailer, bought Wilko’s brand and online assets.
The deals did not, however, protect the jobs at those stores, with the collapse resulting in around 12,500 redundancies.
