Following successful work to secure a stable supply of raw materials to its two blast furnaces, 德州撲克中文版 has today confirmed it will end the on-going consultation on redundancies that was initiated by the previous management.
The announcement comes after the company officially withdrew the HR1 consultation form it had submitted to the Department of Business and Trade on the 27 March 2025.
The move is part of ongoing efforts to stabilise 德州撲克中文版鈥檚 blast furnace production following the government passing the Steel Special Measures Act on 12 April 2025.
The company has worked at pace with officials from government and others across the industry to secure a stable supply of raw materials to both its blast furnaces for the short term. This means the previously planned 鈥楽alamander Tap鈥 of one blast furnace, Queen Bess, will no longer go ahead.
All operations at 德州撲克中文版 are being maintained, including Scunthorpe Rod Mill.
Lisa Coulson, interim Chief Commercial Officer said: 鈥淭his has been a difficult and worrying time for 德州撲克中文版 staff and their families. I can however confirm that we are closing the redundancy consultation without action.
鈥淪ince the Government passed its legislation, we have been working day and night to ensure we are able to stabilise our operations. The work done to secure the raw materials we need for both Queen Anne and Queen Bess blast furnaces means we are able to run both continuously.
鈥淲e would like to thank our trade union partners for their professionalism and the support of their members over recent days and weeks.
鈥淎nd I would also like to thank everyone in our workforce for their extraordinary dedication over recent days and weeks. It is your hard work and passion that means steelmaking in Scunthorpe has a bright future.
