Rights on redundancy

Hello
Would really appreciate it if someone could shed any ligh on any rights I may have. I have been working part-time for a catering firm who are employed in a warehouse by another firm. The warehouse employers are now closing and offered their 200 plus employers a very nice redundancy package. We at the catering firm do not work for that firm so this does not apply to us. My question is my firm as not called a meeting to inform us the firm is closing obviuosly we know because other staff have told us, also it seems my firm work in other places as they are a worldwide company and have offered some staff (on a different shift) jobs elsewhere which thay have took. It is very difficult to find any information out as the shift I work is 10pm till 2am an no boss is ever available. The date for closure to the main warehouse is 24th October which means I will have been working there just over two years. I am entitled to any redundancy?

You are only entitled to a redundancy payment if your company declares your job as redundant and you satisfy the criteria (one of which is the 2 years of continuous employment that you mention).
It is possible that your employer may discuss with you alternative roles and/or alternative locations for your job. These must obviously be realistic (in terms of travel time, for example).
However it is pretty pathetic form for any employer not to co-ordinate at least some form of briefing to its staff that work at a location where a change in employment is likely to be of concern of their own staff. Poor management indeed.
