Eight jobs lost near Burnham as transport company goes insolvent

A G Watts at Dunball

A long-established transport company near Burnham-On-Sea has gone into insolvency this week with the loss of around eight jobs.

A.G. Watts Transport Limited - whose warehouse is at Dunball - transports materials around the country after they are moved from large ships at the wharf.

A meeting of the company's creditors is set to be held in Bristol this Tuesday, October 25th.

One of the Burnham-based staff who has been laid off told Burnham-On-Sea.com on Sunday: "It's all come out of the blue. Six drivers, a fitter and an administration person have been laid off."

The company's demise could lead to less shipping traffic going past Burnham.
