FIFTY people lost their jobs earlier in the year following a headquarters restructuring at Wyevale Garden Centre in Hereford.

Earlier this year, the company that has been taken over announced that is was moving part of its UK headquarters from the city to Slough on the M4 corridor west of London.

The group that operates more than 100 outlets throughout the country said it would be relocating some of its headquarters functions out of Hereford and was in discussion with staff.

It has now been confirmed that 65 of the 130 Hereford posts were transferred to Slough with 10 people from the city moving to Slough and about 50 leaving the company.

A spokesman for Wyevale said the restructuring had been achieved amicably.
