Black Country factory shedding 85 jobs after BHS collapse
A Black Country factory that specialises in shop fitting is facing a number of redundancies.
The Alan Nuttall Partnership is looking at making 85 redundancies across its operation after being hit by a fall off in spending by major retailers.
The job losses would affect all of the firm's sites including its head office at Hinckley, Leicestershire; its main manufacturing site in Hall Street, Dudley and factories in Rugby and St Neots.
Operations director Matt Hornblower said the company employed about 600 in total.
"In the current climate retailers are holding back from investing," he said.
The company is to move its operation specialising in shop refurbishment from St Neots to the Dudley site and closing the factory there.
Mr Hornblower said that formal consultation over the redundancies was due to start next week but staff had been informed of the numbers that were being sought.
Alan Nuttall, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, is aiming to reduce overheads.
Mr Hornblower said it had also suffered a £95,500 loss following the collapse of BHS.
