Soap Production at Unilever's Port Sunlight site is due to cease next year, and it's been estimated that around 125 jobs are to be lost. Gerry Hare, works director at Port Sunlight said: " We will do all that we possibly can to explore viable possible alternatives to compulsory redundancies." Unilever recently unveiled the new European IT centre at the site and the arrival of support facilities at Port Sunlight has seen jobs increase by 25% over the last five years.
