Burberry Limited
(manufacturer)
In September 2006 Burberry Limited announced the closure of its factory in Treorchy (which made polo shirts for the company) to switch production to China. Workers, politicians and celebrities mounted a campaign to reverse the decision, but the plant finally closed in March 2007. Over 300 jobs were lost.
