Around 70 of the company’s 750 staff will be retained for now.
Administrators for Safestyle have said the business has made around 680 of its workers redundant after it fell into administration.
The Bradford-headquartered business has a manufacturing site in Wombwell, near Barnsley and 42 branches and depots across the country. GMB organiser Bob McNeill later said: “Loyal Safestyle UK workers have been treated absolutely abysmally. They’ve been made redundant with immediate effect and told they won’t get another penny from the company.Stephanie Peacock, the Labour MP for Barnsley East, said: “Workers have literally been told in the car park, in the pouring rain, that they’ve lost their jobs.
Safestyle suspended its shares from trading in London last Friday after it realised that a hoped-for rescue deal was unlikely to give shareholders any money back. Rick Harrison, managing director at Interpath Advisory, said: “These are really challenging times for companies across the home improvement market.
