This morning I met with the Head of Human Resources and the Vice Principal for Commercial at Fareva regarding the potential closure of their site in Beeston.
I raised my concerns about potential job loses to my constituents. I have had assurance from Fareva that there will be no immediate redundancies, but if they do close, full plans will be put in place for those currently employed by them. They talked me through the consultation period they will be having with staff and if the decision does go ahead, there may be opportunities for some staff to relocate and there will likely be a few remaining on-site.
I have also talked with Boots and there may be new job opportunities with them in Broxtowe.
This is a worrying time for those involved, I will continue to do all I can to look after the livelihoods of those in my constituency of Broxtowe and will send updates if news develops.
