WORKERS at a Kidderminster company manufacturing rocket motors are facing an uncertain future after being told that jobs will be cut.

It is understood Roxel UK, which operates at Summerfield, notified staff last week of plans to axe up to 50 posts. It is hoped that enough employees will come forward for voluntary redundancy to avoid compulsory losses.

The company, which is part of the Roxel group running three other sites in France, was unable to comment as the Shuttle Times & News went to press.
