Boots D10 Factory Decommissioning to Finish This Autumn, Filings Show

The shutdown ends local manufacturing at the Grade I-listed site following the transfer of production to Wales and France.

Overview

  • Companies House documents for BCM Limited confirm the lengthy decommissioning of the D10 facility will be completed this autumn.
  • Fareva closed the Thane Road factory in summer 2024 and has since removed equipment and made staff redundant.
  • Filings state analytical services, research and development, commercial and procurement teams will continue operating from the Nottingham site.
  • BCM Employment & Management Services reported average headcount fell from 559 in 2023 to 310 in 2024, with manufacturing roles dropping from 399 to 119 and administration rising from 96 to 152.
  • BCM reported expected costs of about £6.2m for redundancies, £1.9m to transfer assets, and £1.8m to reinstate the D10 building to its pre-lease condition, as the move ends Boots manufacturing in Nottinghamshire.
