BlindCraft Factory Saved
November 18, 2010
The BlindCraft factory in Edinburgh has been saved after city councillors agreed it could move to a three-day-week.
It means the plant can stay open while making savings of £700,000 a year.
Officials had recommended the loss-making plant should be closed but a last-minute deal has now been reached.
The 57 staff, who are mostly disabled, are employed by the council-funded charity to make mattresses. It has been operating in Edinburgh since 1793.
