GREGGS has said it plans to shut four factories, including one in Scotland, with the loss of about 740 jobs as part of an overhaul of its food manufacturing operations.

The closure of Pettigrews in Kelso – which has operated in the Borders town for nearly 60 years – is part of a broader consolidation effort by the high street bakery giant.
