More jobs to go?

Date published: 13 May 2009


A Castleton company is believed to be axing 15 jobs.

Farrel Corporation on Queensway, which currently runs with 150 workers, is facing a financial crisis, according to a friend of an employee who wishes to remain anonymous.

He said: “I don’t know an exact number, I think about 15 workers”.

It is believed they employees have been asked to take voluntary redundancy.

Rochdale Online News has contacted Farrel Corporation, but they have so far refrained from commenting.

Farrell Corporation is an international company which specialises in making machines for rubber and plastics industries.
