A Toiletries company will cut back its operations in a village after difficulties finding staff.

Creightons, manufacturer of cosmetics, toiletries and fragrances, is to sell its freehold property in Water Lane, Storrington, and move the bulk of its manufacturing business to Peterborough.

The company will lease part of the Storrington site back but will axe about half of the 40 staff there. Creightons moved to the Water Lane site in the Sixties.
