More than 900 jobs are understood to be at risk following news that a big East Midlands employer could close.
Northern Ireland poultry processing business Moy Park has said future investment at its site on the Airfield Industrial Estate at Ashbourne, Derbyshire - and farms in the area - was unsustainable. It said the operations could be consolidated into other factories within the group. It is understood that up to 935 people could be affected.
Moy Park employs almost 10,000 people across 12 processing facilities in Northern Ireland, England, France and the Netherlands. It is said to be Northern Ireland’s biggest private sector business and one of Europe’s biggest poultry producers supplying branded and own label products to shops and food service providers.
