People in Newark have spoken of the impact 100 job losses will have on the town. They spoke of the struggles in battling through the cost of living crisis and difficulty in finding jobs.
The decision of Goodlife Foods to move its operations to mainland Europe, therefore, represents a "big loss", residents said. The food manufacturer operates from a factory in Brunel Drive and this will shut on May 6.
The factory closure follows a consultation, with company directors saying no other "suitable or viable" solution could be found as they blamed "challenging trading conditions" in the UK market. It means around 100 workers will lose their jobs.
