The company is proposing to reduce the number of shifts from three to two. It has entered into talks with staff.
HR director Kirsty Wilkins said: “Whilst our commercial team is working hard to replace the lost volume, the harsh reality is that we are operating in a very challenging marketplace and therefore need to take the necessary measures to ensure the site can remain competitive. I do appreciate that this announcement will cause a great deal of uncertainty and concern.”
Tulip said it would be working with affected staff in the coming weeks to identify ways to “mitigate the potential impact” of its proposal.
