Coryton Oil Refinery will make 180 staff redundant after going into administration. The firm went into administration in January after its parent company Petroplus in Swiss collapsed. Administrators PwC have been in discussions with 100 possible investors and buyers but it has not been possible to reach a deal. The redundancies will be implemented next week.
