Grange Fencing in Telford is entering a consultation with 110 members of staff – almost half of its 230-strong total workforce in the town – about closing its UK manufacturing operation by the end of the year.
It will retain its sales, marketing and distribution facilities in the town, but will be selling products made at its parent company’s factory in Europe.
The company, which makes typical garden fencing, said the move was being considered because of changes in the UK market.
Based on Halesfield 21, the company was taken over by Stelmet in western Poland, one of the biggest makers of garden fencing in Europe, last year.
