Business leaders say news about all manufacturing of Boots products leaving Nottingham for the first time in its history is a "worry." The company which makes products including the No 7 and Soltan ranges confirmed on Friday (June 30) that it was entering into consultation with hundreds of its staff.
Fareva, which first acquired the manufacturing arm of Boots in 2017, has been making products at the historic D10 building within the Beeston headquarters of the Nottingham-founded company. But Fareva is now proposing to manufacture all Boots products at factories in Wales and France.
The news was described as "devastating" by local council leaders and union representatives. It came days after Boots itself announced the closure of 300 stores nationwide, though that move is not expected to lead to any job losses.
