Exertis has announced a consolidation, which will probably close its Raunds warehouse and distribution facility next year.
The outfit is considering consolidating its stock and warehousing activities into its Burnley Bridge Warehouse.
If it does this, then 50 employees will be picking up their P45s and pink slips, although the company currently says no final decisions have been reached.
It officially says it is entering a consultation phase to explore alternatives that could avert job losses.
Exertis has significantly invested in its operational capabilities, including constructing a state-of-the-art pick tower at its Burnley Bridge warehouse.
This investment boosts pick efficiency and accommodates market demand for order consolidation and kit customization.
Exertis anticipates that, by the fiscal year 2025, the consolidation of stock at a single location will enhance efficiency and cost-effectiveness while maintaining high service standards.
The company stated that employees at the Raunds facility will receive support packages, and those willing to relocate will be provided with an opportunity to do so.
The company will offer in-house courses on job applications, CV writing, and interview skills to aid potential job moves.
