It said bosses are currently in consultation with staff, recruitment has been frozen and future developments at the award-winning park have been put on hold.

The knock on effect has also meant that it has impacted on the number of visitors coming to the park, footfall is 22% behind budgeted figures for this year. This has left a significant gap in the finances of the Wildlife Park.
Mr Minion said it was with “huge regret” that the firm had to further streamline operations to protect the company during “this difficult economy.” He said that the park was looking to avoid compulsory redundancies and minimising the number of workers impacted.He also said that workers may be offered alternative jobs within the company, reducing hours, flexible working and retraining employees into different roles as well as considering voluntary redudancies and early retirement.
