Toyoda Gosei UK employs 251 people at its UK headquarters in Rotherham.

The company, which produces components for Toyota, Nissan, Renault and Honda, said it was responding to changes in the global sector and "significant reduction" in UK customer demand.

A formal period of consultation with employees is under way.

Sarah Champion, MP for Rotherham, said the news had come "out of the blue" and was deeply disappointing, adding she would support the workers through "this hugely stressful time" and try to secure the plant's future.

"The timing couldn't be worse, people are struggling to cope with the consequences of the pandemic and trying to get back on their feet," she said.
