400 temps paid off yesterday and the other 800 permanent staff to go by April ,I've been there almost 20 years and it's been looking poor for a while but it's still a shock as we've been through some hard times before .
The knock on effect on suppliers etc. hasn't hardly been felt yet ,it was sad when they paid the Unipress lads off the other week .
It's just another casualty of what's going on around us all ........ we're all waiting and feeling the pressure.
