The closure of the Halifax manufacturing site is expected to incur a total cost of approximately £4.7million, of which £2.2million is non-cash.

President and CEO of Nobia Jon Sintorn said: “Our UK transformation is going according to plan and the closure of Halifax forms part of our initiative to considerably lower our fixed cost base and restore profitability in the UK”.
