Union officials have blamed “mismanagement” for the collapse of Yorkshire firm Safestyle as it was announced hundreds of workers have lost their jobs.
The Bradford-headquartered company is to be wound down, with 680 staff made redundant immediately and a further 70 set to lose their jobs after assisting with the closure process for the business. The company, which also had a manufacturing centre in Barnsley, was placed into administration yesterday after it announced on Friday night that it was no longer able to trade as a going concern following prospective buyers withdrawing their interest.
'More than 600 workers have been cruelly cut off from work, weeks before Christmas, with no guarantee that they will even get last week's pay-check. “The impact of this closure upon the community of Barnsley cannot be overstated. It is simply devastating. We need urgent answers on where the money has gone.
