Troubled Coryton refines a deal
An OIL refinery that went bust has seen its immediate future secured under a deal that will provide it with work for the next three months.
The Coryton plant in Essex, which supplies 20 per cent of fuel in London and the south-east of England, was recently plunged into administration by its Swiss owner Petroplus, prompting fears of up to 1,000 job losses.
But a consortium of financiers has now reached an agreement with administrators at PwC that will see them pay to refine oil at the plant for the next three months.
