Description

A Cumbrian paper mill owned by Iggesund Paperboard has announced that it is to make around 100 job cuts at their site in Siddick, near Workington. The company is closing one of its two production units at the end of the year as a result of a major slump in orders. Employees were informed of the job losses on Monday.
