MORE than 60 jobs had been lost and four managers had left in a shake-up at a Padiham factory.
The Thorn-EMI plant at Padiham was bought by the Myson Group in a £42 million deal and the new owners had carried out what they called a 'restructuring.'
It was reported that 55 workers were being offered alternative employment in the factory but the remaining eight, all foremen, were being made compulsorily redundant.
