As many as 900 jobs are at risk with the announcement of the planned closure of two food factories in Leicester and Lincolnshire.
Bakkavor wants to close its Bakkavor Salads operation in Sutton Bridge, near Kings Lynn, and its Bakkavor Desserts factory in Leicester Forest East. There are 450 people working at each site.
The business, which reported UK revenues of £1.56 billion in 2020, produces meals, salads, pizza and bread, and desserts for the UK’s major store chains.
