700 job go at chicken plant today as Anglesey 2 Sisters factory closes its doors

A chicken factory that has employed people on the island of Anglesey for more than 50 years will close its doors for the final time today. Meat processing firm 2 Sisters announced last month it was shutting its factory in Llangefni.

Today is the last day for workers and a tough day for the island, where the plant has been a major employer since opening in 1970. The firm, 2 Sisters, had said the plant was old and would require significant investment to bring it up to the same standard as its other locations.

Ynys Mon MS Rhun ap Iorwerth described it as a "difficult day for everybody" involved with the site and the wider island.
