A number of DHL Supply Chain employees could be made redundant at the firm's Worcester site by the end of February.

The logistics firm has entered a 30-day consultation with an unspecified number of staff at the depot, which it operates on behalf of Boots UK and Homebase. "DHL will also work with those affected to identify opportunities elsewhere within DHL," a company spokesman says.

Operations at the site will transfer to another depot under a different logistics provider. Some staff will transfer under TUPE.
