Having visited the GSK site in Harlow very recently, I am very disappointed that they have announced plans to close part of the site.
I discussed the issue with GSK last week and I will be hoping that everything possible is done to ensure that those who will be made redundant are given other job opportunities or the training and skills needed for them to apply for other jobs if they so choose.I believe this could have a major effect on the supply chain in Harlow affecting other jobs and the economy in general. I have had discussions with Harlow councillors about schemes available to help people made redundant.
This decision by GSK is a sad reflection on the economic situation and comes hot on the heels of a number of job losses in Harlow.
The one bright spot is that I am proud that the Olympic drug-testing will take place at GSK in Harlow and I hope this means that the company is determined to stay and maintain a strong presence in the town.
