MORE than 100 employees who abruptly lost their jobs when a Grimethorpe firm collapsed will receive compensation after a long-running tribunal ended in the.
× A FLOURISHING business which employs more than 100 people at its Grimethorpe base is set to take over a sprawling warehouse due to its growth.
Care home supplier Countrywide Healthcare, currently based on Springvale Road, exchanged contracts and will move to the nearby former Sash UK site on Ferrymoor Way.
Alongside supplying care homes with housekeeping, incontinence, medical and catering consumables, Countrywide also assists homes with specialist interior design services.
Sash - which was started by local joiners Ron Bean and Terry Morrell in 1965 - was sold to new owners in 2016 but entered administration last June.
The warehouse has stood empty ever since but Alastair Kitching, Countrywide Healthcare’s executive chairman, applied to Barnsley Council’s planning board for permission to change the building’s use from industrial to storage and distribution.
