Textiles manufacturer Vanners to reopen its factory in April

Come April and there’s some good news for all working at Vanners’ factory!

The Sudbury-based textile manufacturer has, reportedly, planned to reopen its factory in April 2021.

Roger Gawn, who had acquired Vanners last December and who also owns British luxury firm Swaine Adeney Brigg, had temporarily shut down the factory last month following the number of orders slowing down considerably.

More on this, Roger said that he now intends to give a new lease of life to the factory and will focus on building from the bottom-up.

Besides, silk weaving, Vanners also plans to expand into own-brand product production, making loungewear as well as silk pyjamas.

Roger also said that he will see how many employees he will be able to re-employ at Vanners, once the factory becomes operational.

He also ensured that all the employees who did not receive wages or those who received only part of their wages – owing to non-receipt of activation codes from HM Revenue and Customs –will receive backdated pay in few weeks.
