Protective Award Claims for Tillery Valley Foods Employees

Around 250 jobs have been lost as Tillery Valley Foods has entered into administration.

Tillery Valley Foods confirmed that it was going into administration on Wednesday 17th May, after fears in the previous week that the business may close, leaving its 250 staff without jobs.

Based in Abertillery, South Wales, Tillery Valley Foods provides meals to the healthcare, education and local authority sectors, including to a number of staff and patients at 30 NHS Trusts.

Tim Bateson and Will Wright from Interpath Advisory were appointed joint administrators to Tillery Valley Foods Limited on 17 May 2023.

The majority of the work force have been made redundant with immediate effect, with just 24 employees retained by the administrators to assist them as they wind-down the business.

Why should I make a Protective Award Claim?

When an employer makes more than 20 staff redundant at one location, they legally have to consult with either a recognised trade union or elected employee representatives. If Go-Centric did not comply with this obligation, and you were made redundant without notice, you may be entitled to claim compensation by bringing a claim for a protective award to the Employment Tribunal.

Unfortunately, when a company is placed into administration, we often see a large number of employees being made redundant. Therefore, Protective Award Claims are brought to the Tribunal as large class action claims. Large class action claims involve a number of individual Claimants making a joint claim.

Make sure to discuss the Protective Award Claim with any former colleagues who have also faced redundancy as they may also be eligible to be part of the claim.

At Aticus Law, we know that facing redundancy with little or no notice can have devastating effects, especially when it comes to finances. If the claim is unsuccessful, you won’t have to pay any legal fees as we manage Protective Award Claims on a no-win-no-fee basis.

Our redundancy solicitors would like to support former employees of Britishvolt with bringing a claim for a protective award, where the Tribunal is able to award up to 90 days’, pay capped at £643 per week (£5144 in total) to each individual who is part of the claim.
