Boo.com provisional liquidator Mick McLoughlin of KPMG said: "Following the conditions we set out for potential purchasers of refundable £1m deposits, I am pleased to say that we have received several millions in deposits from interested parties.
"We are spending the weekend in talks with these interested parties and hope to find a suitable purchaser for the Boo.com business. A core staff of some 30 key Boo.com people have been retained to assist us with these negotiations.
" If a sale is to be achieved it is imperative that any sale is reached as soon as possible as there are no funds for a prolonged liquidation process. We have not laid off any staff, as we are aware that these are key assets of the business. The clock is ticking for the future of Boo."
