Argent Energy workforce slam bosses over Newarthill site closure plan

A global energy firm has been blasted by its workforce after a bombshell decision to close its only Scottish plant.

One worker, whose identity we are protecting, said:"Rumours started a few weeks ago that the entire plant was being closed down by the owners, but nobody believed it as it would have meant taking all of the jobs and industry out of the area. The man, who has worked for a number of years at the plant, says the impact of the shock move will be felt throughout the local area.

A spokesperson for Argent 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."

"The way it has been handled has left long-serving and hard working employees feeling really let down.
