BBC News - Jessops goes into administration 9 January 2013 Last updated at 15:45 Troubled High Street camera retailer Jessops has gone into administration, with PricewaterhouseCoopers appointed as the administrator. In 2009, Jessops managed to avoid administration by agreeing a debt for equity swap with its lender HSBC. In recent years, it has been hit by increasing competition from supermarkets and internet retailers. Last year, chief executive Trevor Moore left Jessops, founded in Leicester in 1935, to become HMV boss.
