Premier Foods makes a range of everyday favourites from Birds Custard to Bistro Gravy (PA)
(Picture: PA Media)Premier Foods announced plans today to close one of its factories, as the impact on of stubbornly high inflation cast a shadow over news of a rise in third-quarter sales.
The FTSE 250 maker of Angel Delight and Birds Custard said its powdered foods plant at Knighton in Staffordshire could shut in mid-2023. Staff consultations are starting at the loss-making facility, which was acquired by Premier in 2004 when it bought the two brands from Kraft of the US.
