Compensation for former Wolsey employees

September 19, 2014 Leave a Comment

Grantham personal injury and industrial disease specialist solicitors are appealing to former employees of the Wolsey clothing factory who may have since been diagnosed with lung cancer mesothelioma, potentially caused by exposure to asbestos during their work as machinists with the company.

The company operated from the 1960s to the mid-1980s at Gonerby Hill Foot, in premises now occupied by Moy Park.

The industrial disease and personal injury specialists can help former employees from their Dysart Road office, Grantham.

If you have suffered as a result of your employment with Wolsey then please contact JMP Solicitors on 01476 565 295 or email them on grantham@jmp-solicitors.com
