Leaders say plans to move all Boots manufacturing out of Nottingham for the first time in its history will be "devastating" for the regional economy as hundreds of jobs are put at risk. The company making Boots products at its Beeston headquarters has announced proposals to move manufacturing away from the historic site.
Products including the No 7 and Soltan ranges would instead be manufactured at factories in Wales and France if current plans go ahead. Nottinghamshire Live understands around 800 staff are based at the D10 building, where French firm Fareva manufactures Boots products, with a consultation process having now started for all of them.
Fareva first acquired the manufacturing arm of Boots, known as BCM, in 2017. The move was hailed at the time as a "new and exciting chapter", but concerns were expressed by unions about the future of jobs at the Boots headquarters.
