Economy Minister Simon Hamilton MLA has expressed his concern at the possibility of 313 jobs losses at Wiggle CRC in Doagh, Carrickfergus and Ballyclare. The company employs over 600 people in County Antrim.
The Minister said: “This is a deeply worrying time for staff at Wiggle CRC in Northern Ireland. They are foremost in my thoughts.
Chain Reaction was a highly successful homegrown firm. It's success led to the Wiggle investment. Whilst my officials are already in contact with the company, I will engage with Wiggle management at the earliest opportunity to explore ways of retaining as many jobs as possible."
