Forest Garden has completed the transfer of more than 100 staff from Eardisley to its Hartlebury main site.

The move brings to an end a consultation period started in September, with the Eardisley site now closed.

The company, the UK’s biggest fence panel producer, is investing £2.5m at Hartlebury, which now becomes its central manufacturing and distribution hub.

Forest Garden chief executive Jonathan Halford said that the fact that two-thirds of Eardisley’s workforce had transferred to Hartlebury was a positive move.
