Telford and Wrekin Council is providing support to over 400 TGI Fridays employees affected by the immediate closure of 16 UK restaurants, including one in Telford. The redundancies aim to secure the company's long-term future. The council is offering practical assistance for new employment, training, and reskilling opportunities to help affected workers navigate this difficult period.
A council is offering support to TGI Fridays employees after the firm announced more than 400 redundancies earlier this week.
The restaurant in Telford, Shropshire, closed immediately on 13 January along with 15 other sites across the UK to help "secure the long-term future" of the firm.
Telford and Wrekin Council said practical support was available for employees to help them find new employment, training or reskilling opportunities.
Councillor Shirley Reynolds said the authority understood it was an "incredibly difficult time" for those affected by the restaurant's closure.
