UPDATE [26 Jan]: Now we're waiting to hear about 2,000 cuts at Corus
This time the axe falls on staff at UPM Shotton paper mill, Deeside, which, according to the Evening Leader, is looking to cut 10 per cent of the workforce - that's 40 jobs.
The news comes on top of an announcement earlier this week that 18 jobs are going at pharmaceutical company Wokhardt UK, at Wrexham Industrial Estate.
And in addition to confirmation yesterday that 55 jobs are being lost at Marshalls which is laying off staff before finally closing the concrete paving fim at Llay.
These latest cuts take job losses to 1343 in our region since the credit crunch started to bite last May.
