'This is devastating news for local people and their families'
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.
Responding to the closure, Oldham council leader Coun Arooj Shah, said: "This is devastating news for local people and their families and friends. These potentially large-scale job losses come at a time when people are already struggling because of the cost of living crisis in the UK. Get Oldham Working will open an on-site office at the Yodel site on Bear Lane to provide specialist training guidance, job advice and job postings. Coun Howard Sykes - the borough's Lib Dem leaders - dubbed the closure a ‘disappointment’, though ‘hardly a surprise’.
