180 NI Jobs To Go At M&S

Over 180 jobs in Mallusk, County Antrim are at risk, following the news that Marks & Spencer is to restructure its distribution warehouses.

The Hyde Park centre is to be closed as a result of the company's plans to centralise its 110 small warehouses to three large centres in Bradford, Castle Donnington and London Gateway in Essex.

About 355 people are currently employed at the Mallusk site. 275 are DHL employees and it is estimated that around two thirds will lose their jobs when the warehouse closes.

The process of shutting down the warehouse is expected to take up to four years to complete.

Four M&S stores in the Republic are to be closed next week in Tallaght, Dun Laoghaire, Naas and Mullingar.
