Are these people who work there aware of the situation?

Very much so
Which makes it all the harder.

They'll still work their arses off to get the orders out if they have to.

Quite a few seem to be "in denial" - they really don't think they'll ever loose their jobs.

Others are working harder than they've ever worked before as we sell stuff for a pittance, and take in the stock that the Peterborough warehouse (which is closing sooner than Bradford) can't sell.

As above - I'll get along. If you want to worry, worry about the staff.

I wont worry as I'm sure you'll be fine
I just find it sad when people who've worked hard for so long end up out of a job because of the economic climate. Not many shops where I live have closed, but further out towards college there are so many shops lying dormant now.
