Jobs blow as Argent Energy set to shut site in Newarthill

Biodiesel producer Argent Energy is set to close its only Scottish plant - leading to the loss of around 75 jobs.

The local site is where Argent Energy’s story started back in 2005, producing 45,000 tonnes of waste-based biodiesel each year, before the firm expanded again in 2016. Argent’s second plant in Ellesmere Port is located on the Manchester Ship Canal and its third is strategically positioned in the port of Amsterdam.

A spokesperson said:"The decision to consult on closure of the plant was not easy. However, market conditions that have put severe economic pressures on biodiesel production facilities in the UK over the past two years have forced the move to ensure the continued strength and future of the business."
