More than 100 jobs are at risk after plans were announced to permanently close the doors of a Shropshire aerospace manufacturer.
Radius Aerospace, based at Shrewsbury’s famous Sentinel Works, services the commercial aviation, business jet, military and industrial gas turbine markets, specialising in the fabrication, formation and manufacture of aircraft engine and industrial gas turbine, machined and fabricated casings.
Workers at the site have entered a 45-day period of collective consultation with bosses saying the Radius team will 'continue to communicate and provide frequent updates to our stakeholders'. Kevan Donohoe, President of Radius Aerospace Europe, said:"For the last few years, the Radius Shrewsbury plant has experienced declining financial performance due to the significant changes in our industry as a result of the Covid pandemic, the reduction in the overall orderbook with key customers and their products, and more recently increased energy costs for the operation of the facility.
"Unfortunately, despite these actions we have not been able to sufficiently improve the profitability of the site to ensure it remains a viable going concern.
