Billington has announced the closure of its Yate plant; production is to be largely wound down by the end of 2025, while the technical office will be retained. Parts of the workforce are to be relocated to Barnsley sites in early 2026; staff have already been hired in Wombwell and Shafton and night shifts expanded. Equipment from Yate will be moved to Barnsley to reduce investment needs; the aim of the consolidation is greater flexibility, lower overheads and improved cost efficiency. The company is also examining options to maximise the value of the Yate site. » Más en de.investing.com
