WORKERS at Yeovil-based Screwfix Direct were dealt a huge bombshell yesterday (Thursday) when it was announced that the warehouse operation of the DIY mail order firm will close later this year with the loss of 520 jobs.
Yeovil MP David Laws described the news as 'very sad' and that 520 jobs was an 'awful lot' to lose at one time.
Workers were said to have been devastated and some were in tears when given the news.
