Statement from Council Leader, Cllr Geraint Thomas, on Hoover closure
- Categories : Press Release
- 16 May 2024
The news of the closure of the Hoover site in Merthyr Tydfil signifies the end of an era for our town.
The firm has employed thousands of our residents over the years and brought with it much needed industry after the Second World War.
Whilst we understand staff will have the opportunity to relocate to an alternative site in Rugby, we will work to support those who choose to stay in Merthyr Tydfil through our many employability training and support schemes.
