with the announcement that Littlewoods is to close its lossmaking Index catalogue business.
This will result in the loss of 3200 jobs, including 350 positions at its distribution centre in Moxley in the West Midlands.
Logistics firm Exel confirms that its Index contract will cease, in line with the announcement from Littlewoods on 17 April.
It says: "Every effort will be made to transfer employees to other operations within our network."
A spokesman for Wincanton, which runs Littlewoods' national distribution centre in Burton-onTrent. says it is too early to assess what the implications will be. We will have to see what the implications for the 100 who work there will be. We will be consulting with employees and employers."
However, it is believed that redundancies are likely.
