Тhe administrators, PwC, have confirmed that all staff will be made redundant, few of the workers, however, will be retained during the administrating procedure. The bankruptcy comes despite one-year efforts to save the company.

A spokesperson for the Welsh Government said that it would work with staff affected by the closure of the Wrexham site.
