Hundreds of Yodel staff in Oldham are at risk of losing their jobs after bosses at the delivery service announced a ‘devastating’ closure.
Yodel’s distribution site in Shaw, which employs more than 350 people, is to shut. The company’s CEO Mike Hancox said the ‘difficult decision’ was a result of a ‘strategic review’.
It follows the sale of Yodel earlier this year by owner Frederick Barclay. Mr Hancox said: "Following a comprehensive strategic review of our operations we have taken the difficult decision to propose to close our national sortation and transport centre located in Shaw, Greater Manchester.
