Tarkett, the flooring company, shares the site with Aliaxis – it was formerly known as Marley Floors -, but is staff there are unaffected by the redundancy notices.
Gareth Dunn, the commercial director for Aliaxis UK, told Kent Online: “Aliaxis UK has entered into a period of consultation with its employees on its proposal to make some changes as part of a new UK strategy which, depending on outcome, could see changes to activity at the Lenham site and impact a number of roles within the business.
“This is a sensitive time for all our employees, and the proposals will be subject to a full and thorough consultation process before any final decisions are reached.”
