A Notinghamshire-based company has confirmed it will close its manufacturing site with around 100 staff there set to lose their jobs. Goodlife Foods, which operates from a factory in Brunel Drive in Newark, will move all of its operations to mainland Europe next month.
The decision has been made by the company after a consultation, with no "suitable or viable" solution found other tha closing the site, due to "challenging trading conditions" in the UK market. It means that the factory will close its doors on May 6.
They say existing staff at the site will be "supported" to find alternative employment outside of Goodlife Foods. The manufacturer employs around 600 people across all of its sites and produces over four million snacks at its bases in the Netherlands, England and Denmark - it has been reported around 100 of these jobs come from the company's Newark site.
