Wallingford
Staff uncertain as toy firm sold
Toy seller Toyzone has been sold just days after going into receivership - but headquarters staff are still uncertain about their future.
New owner, toy distributor J. A. Magson, immediately announced the HQ would be moving from Wallingford to York.
Redundancy notices are being issued to the 40 Wallingford staff, although some are being offered the chance to move to York.
Magson finance director Neil Mason said: "The Wallingford head office team have been informed that we will need to transfer the office to York, our existing Magson base, in around three months' time.
"Naturally, everyone at Wallingford will have a different view on this move and their future in it - and we are consulting with each person to see how many jobs can transfer."
Receivers were appointed to parent company Youngsters last Tuesday following tough Christmas trading conditions.
