Low and Bonar Plc

Commencement of Consultation Process

As part of the ongoing actions being taken to improve the performance of the Bonar Yarns business unit, Low & Bonar today announces its intention to relocate part of the Bonar Yarns production from Dundee to Abu Dhabi.

This has resulted in the commencement of a formal consultation process with employee representatives on the site, which is expected to affect up to 68 jobs.

Further announcements will be made as appropriate.

Brett Simpson, Chief Executive of Low & Bonar, said:

"We know that this will be a period of uncertainty for our staff at Dundee and we are committed to consulting fully with our employees and their representatives. We do believe however that the restructuring of our workforce is necessary to help us secure the long-term viability and competitiveness of Bonar Yarns in a highly competitive global marketplace."
