2 On 6 November, the company entered a consultation period with 98 employees. It has been proposed to close the site in early 2011, with the commencement of outsourced logistics during 2010.
An AG Barr statement reads: "As the final step in the integration of the Rubicon business, and to allow for future growth, it is proposed to commence discussions with thirdparty logistics companies with a view to establishing a third-party-operated central distribution hub for the south of the country.
It adds: "This proposal would mean ceasing our current in-house storage and distribution operadons at the Mansfield site and the exit from existing Rubicon third-party logistics operations," VOSA records reveal AG Barr has an 0-licence for 234 vehicles and 89 trailers, of which 15 vehicles and 10 trailers are registered to the Mansfield site.
