Londonderry Jobs Shock
An Ulster Unionist Foyle councillor, Alderman Mary Hamilton, has expressed sadness at news that Londonderry engineering company, Arntz Belting, is expected to close with the loss of over 100 jobs.
"To see a company with a 40 year history falling prey to the economic crisis is terribly sad and deeply worrying," she said yesterday.
"I have no doubt that management have long been fighting the company's corner, but that the pressures they faced were just too great. For those staff facing 90 days' notice of redundancy, I can only offer my heartfelt sympathies.
"These are trying times, but I am glad that Arntz Belting has pledged to meet its commitments to employees. This is a further blow that Londonderry could well have done without.
"However, I would urge those suffering the consequences of this decision to seek out the appropriate support, as regards new employment or indeed re-training," she concluded.
