Exel's Tradeteam division is axing 50 jobs and another beer distribution depot as part of its rationalisation programme.
The redundancies will affect drivers, fitters and warehouse staff when work handled by Tradeteam's depot in Blackburn is transferred to Knowsley in Merseyside in October. At least eight other depot closures have so far been announced following Tradeteam's takeover of Interbrew's inhouse distribution operation last year (CM 29 May-it June).
A company spokeswoman says: "Over the next few months, volumes from several sites, including former Interbrew sites across the country, will be transferred to aiternatIve depots. Consultation is in process to minimise the impact of these changes at each of the sites and, where possible, transfer employees to alternative depots."
The Transport it General Workers Union also claims that accident levels are too high and the company has failed to carry out risk assessments (CM 3-9 July). But the company this week issued a statement saying it takes health and safety of employees very seriously. "We invest in a dedicated team of professionals who keep safety at the heart of our business."
