The decision of Boots Opticians not to renew its current contract with Hoya UK could result in job losses at the lens manufacturer's Wrexham plant.
Hoya revealed to Optician that Boots Opticians' decision came following extensive negotiations between the two companies. Hoya's UK managing director Martin Batho said: 'We are particularly disappointed in the outcome of our negotiations with Boots Opticians given that a key driver for us was to secure jobs in Wrexham.
'We are unable to comment at the moment regarding the potential impact that this has on our employees as the matter is subject to the terms of the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) (TUPE) regulations. Our objective now is to ensure that any employees affected by this decision are provided with all the assistance they need to come to terms with the implications of the legislation.'
