Own-brand firm to cut jobs
OWN-BRAND household goods maker McBride said it planned to axe one-tenth of its UK workforce as "unprecedented" cost inflation bore down on profits.
The company, which makes products such as laundry liquids, mouthwash and toothpaste for supermarkets, has been hit by surging oil prices. It is set to cut 250 jobs from its 2,500-strong UK workforce. McBride is closing its Coventry base and scaling back its Warrington presence in order to move to a new site in St Helens.
