Hundreds of jobs are at risk at an Iceland depot in Wales. Some 240 jobs are at risk at the Deeside warehouse in Flintshire for the budget frozen food company. The site is a warehouse distribution hub for Iceland products but run by logistics company GXO.
According to NorthWalesLive GXO have informed staff that their jobs are at risk after Iceland decided to invest in increasing the capacity of its sites in Swindon and Livingston ad well as creating a new base in Warrington. According to GXO the Deeside site will become a "third-party storage facility".
As a result the 240 jobs at the site are at risk and a consultation is set to start. One worker, who asked not to be named, said staff have been left devastated at the news. They said: "It’s really upsetting. People I work with were white and visibly shaking yesterday. We are already in a cost of living crisis and struggling. Now people will lose their jobs.
