Sanctuary's stable of artists include Sir Elton John, the Manic Street Preachers, Morrissey and Iron Maiden.

The firm said it hoped the move would soon return it to profitability.

Sanctuary said it hoped to achieve annual cost savings of between £7m and £8m.

"I am confident that we have a high quality business and, with a much-reduced cost base, I believe we are well placed to rapidly return to profitability going forward," said executive chairman Andy Taylor in a statement.

Sanctuary said negative headlines following a series of profit warnings in the past six months had hit its business, particularly its records division.

It now expects a trading loss before exceptional items for the year to the end of September - compared with market forecasts at the start of the year for profits of up to £30m.

Shares in Sanctuary, which were priced at 43 pence in mid-June, closed up almost 13% at 6.89 pence.
