Book publisher Parragon has announced plans to close, following a number of years of difficult trading conditions. The business, which has its UK headquarters in Bath, confirmed that 140 jobs are subject to the statutory 45 day consultation period, which will begin on 7 March. In addition to the job losses in the UK, further losses are expected to take place in the overseas parts of the business taking the total number of employees affected to 245. The business continues to seek a buyer, though if no buyer emerges, then closure plans will take effect.
