Mark Wheatley – Usdaw Area Organiser says: “BCM Fareva have today briefed staff at their manufacturing facility in Beeston Nottinghamshire that they are proposing to close the site. This is obviously devastating news for the staff and the local community.
 
“We will now enter into consultation talks with the company, where we will interrogate the business case for their decision. In the meantime we are providing our members with the support, advice and representation they require at the very difficult time, as we seek to secure the best deal possible.”
