I won't be able to take anyone with me because there is only 1 other employee in the company

Hiya,
I see no reason why you cannot take someone from outside the company to represent you or just take notes given the circumstances ie - only one other employee who's already doing your job.
There have been instances where someone from outside the company & union has represented an employee at my place of work. I'm not sure on your company procedures of course but see no reason why such a request would be denied, in fact, if it were I'm sure it'd act in your favor ultimately. Put the request in writing and only accept a written response, if its denied and after the appeal you go to tribunal then its all good for you.
kb92830 & dpassmore make some very good points, you do need to sit down and work out exactly what your going to say/ask and the basis of your appeal.

You also need to remember that the hidden award here are things like pension rights etc, it is not all about what you walked away with on the day.

how long after maternity leave were you informed? as you say a job is made redundant and if someone is doing that job...
heh, can be a very fine line though.
Please keep us updated. I'll help where I can
