MP holds 'urgent meeting' with Argos bosses after they announced planned closure of Heywood depot
Heywood's MP says he has held 'urgent' talks with Argos bosses after they announced plans to close a huge depot in the town which would mean the loss of around 350 jobs.
It is part of a planned overhaul of Sainsbury's logistics networks which means 1,400 roles across the country are now at risk with a consultation period having begun. “I am disappointed and concerned by Sainsbury’s planned closure of the Heywood Argos depot" he said in a statement issued to the Manchester Evening News. "I had an urgent meeting today with Sainsbury’s to ask for an explanation of its decision and the business case for closing the site.
"If the closure is unavoidable, then we will engage with other local businesses to secure alternative employment opportunities for as many people as possible." "As a Heywood Councillor and a Unite member, I'll work with council and union colleagues to try to come up with a solution that preserves jobs and support their employees in anyway I can.."
