It is currently unknown what will happen to the 120 jobs people hold at the office.

“The review has resulted in a proposed repositioning of our business.

“The proposal streamlines our support functions and consolidates the business into two core locations: the Humber Refinery, the heart of our UK business, and London, the commercial and trading centre of the UK.

“As a result it is proposed that our Warwick office will be closing first quarter 2018.

“The proposed repositioning is subject to the completion of the necessary Information and Consultation processes.”
