The Company still exists but are having to cut back in order to keep going.

There is an article in the Liverpool Daily Post.

Presumably, there will be redundancy payouts and councelling available to those unfortunate to loose their jobs.

I was made redundant last year after 37 years with a well known B Bank. I was fortunate to get a reasonable redundancy payout and the option to draw my pension, which has seen us through.

Good luck
