The Department for Work and Pensions’ will provide advice and support to those affected and the Jobcentre Plus Rapid Response Service will help workers get back into employment as soon as possible. With many of the people working in the plant living in across the border in Wales, the Welsh Government also stands ready to support.

We will work with the company and Unite Union to consider how the Talent Retention Scheme can help ensure that workforce skills are not lost to the industry.
