THE outdoor products division of Electrolux, which makes the Flymo lawnmower range, has advertised 50 jobs.
The work at the Flymo factory, in Newton Aycliffe, County Durham, comes two weeks after Electrolux announced it was shedding at least 50 jobs at its Spennymoor plant.
At the time, the company said the reduction of its 600 workforce was due to the slump in consumer spending.
Electrolux is to severe all ties with the Newton Aycliffe factory, after it announced in September that it was to operate as a separate business. The factory will become the UK headquarters of the new business, called Husqvarna.
