The plant in the West Midlands town employs around 10,000 people. Many more work in the supply chain.

On the high street, one factory worker said they had been told not to speak to journalists about the company’s decision.

Another asked us not to name her but said: “Everyone’s talking about it.”

Referring to a move by the company earlier this year, she added: “They’ve already laid off agency staff, the worry is the next jobs to go will be staff jobs.”
