All 100 staff at Holmes Halls in Hull, United Kingdom, were put on 90 day’s redundancy notice during February, possibly signalling an end to production at one of the UK’s oldest names in tanning.

The company, which celebrated its 200th anniversary in October 1999, provides work for around 100 people and produces leather for soles and car upholstery. 90 people were made redundant at the factory last December, following  redundancies made during the previous year.
