Mr Kipling cake firm Premier Foods has revealed plans to close one of its factories in a move impacting about 300 jobs. The group is proposing to close its Knighton manufacturing site in Staffordshire, which it said was “marginally” loss-making.
Mr Kipling cake firm Premier Foods has revealed plans to close one of its factories in a move impacting about 300 jobs.
But the site, which largely makes unbranded powdered drinks for the group, is likely to continue operating into 2024 before finally shutting after a phased closure. “It is recognised that this will be an unsettling time for those circa 300 colleagues who are potentially affected by these proposals and they will be fully supported and consulted with throughout the process,” Premier Foods said.
It said pricing provided a “significant” boost to revenue growth in the quarter, though it added that “demand was particularly buoyant running into the key festive period”.
