Nearly 300 workers have lost their jobs at the furniture firm in Flintshire, following its collapse into administration.

Commenting, Welsh Conservative Spokesperson for Finance, Sam Rowlands, said:

“After years of Labour and Plaid, businesses are under increasing pressure and jobs are being lost.

“The Welsh Conservatives will back businesses, cut taxes and fire up the economy to get Wales working and protect jobs.”
