Description
Caravan manufacturer Willerby Holiday Homes has announced plans to cut 193 jobs in Hull. The company blamed the ongoing 'economic uncertainty' and therefore the need to ensure the sustainability of the business.
The announcement comes after the introduction of a 5% caravan tax by the government earlier this year. The company will implement the redundancies over a six-month period starting in September.
