Commenting on Novelis plans to lose 120 jobs, Philip Dunne says: "This is very disappointing news for Bridgnorth. The loss of over 100 manufacturing jobs follows hard on the heels of last year's loss of another 100 jobs in the town."Commenting on today's news that Novelis plans to lose 120 jobs from its Bridgnorth Aluminium business, local MP Philip Dunne said today: "This is very disappointing news for Bridgnorth. The loss of over 100 manufacturing jobs follows hard on the heels of last year's loss of another 100 jobs in the town.

The company has cited a combination of high energy costs and competition from low wage economies. I raised energy issues with Advantage West Midlands and Government Ministers last year warning of possible consequences.

Now I am calling on local authorities and AWM to work together to seek to attract new employers into Bridgnorth and offer training to reskill those whose jobs are under threat."
