FORMER Prestige workers in East Lancashire may be missing out of their pension rights say the trustees winding up the former company's pension scheme.

Bradstock Trustee Services Ltd of Nottingham says it has become apparent that a number of former employees from the Burnley, Accrington and Blackburn plants who may have a claim under the scheme may not be aware of their entitlements.

Around 130 people could be affected, they say.

Tom Fallows, GMB Union officer in Burnley, said: "They have the names, but no or incorrect addresses.

"They are anxious to hear from former employees who have not been contacted by them," he added.

The major Burnley Prestige plant closed two years ago following mounting losses.

People who think they may be included in the pension share out should contact Graham Pitcher, Bradstock Trustee Services Ltd, Hine House, 25 Regent Street, Nottingham, NG1 5BU.
