The company which manufactures Boots products says it has faced 'unprecedented' challenges
Leaders say plans to move all Boots manufacturing out of Nottingham for the first time in its history will be "devastating" for the regional economy as hundreds of jobs are put at risk. The company making Boots products at its Beeston headquarters has announced proposals to move manufacturing away from the historic site.
Those unions have now expressed devastation after plans to "consolidate" Fareva's business operations were confirmed on Friday . Mark Wheatley, the area organiser for the Usdaw union, said: "Fareva have today briefed staff at their manufacturing facility in Beeston, Nottinghamshire, that they are proposing to close the site.
"This economic change has had a big impact on Fareva's business in the UK. Production volumes have decreased due to some customers moving production in-house and remaining business volumes are lower than their pre-Covid levels." Councillor Milan Radulovic, the Labour Leader of Broxtowe Borough Council, said: "It's absolutely devastating for the local economy. For Beeston town centre, the news couldn't be worse, because the knock-on effects will be huge.
Darren Henry, the Conservative MP for Broxtowe, said he was "incredibly concerned" by the news and had contacted Boots as a "matter of urgency" on Friday. Mr Henry said: "The manufacturer, Fareva, who operate a factory on the Boots Beeston campus, have today announced to their employees the proposed closure of their site.
