ACCORDIS on Caton Road, known locally as Nelsons, have denied rumours that staff are to be made redundant.

Site Operations manager, Nick Daniels, said that a worldwide slowdown in demand for LCD screens had made trading difficult but denied that any of the 130 jobs at the plant were on the line.

He added that some short term contracts were coming to an end and speculated that this may have led to the job loss rumours.
