Jobs go as firm leaves city
10:00am Thursday 17th July 2008
A HEREFORD company producing coffee filters for customers around the world is to quit the city, leaving workers redundant.
Thomas & Green has been making coffee filter papers and food absorbent packaging at its Rotherwas base for two years but has decided to re-locate its manufacturing process because of the strength of the euro against sterling.
The move, expected at the end of the month, will affect around 40 staff, who have been given the option to move to other premises in the UK and Europe.
