UK: More Than 700 Workers Accept Northern Foods Redundancy Package

Local media report that staff at the Fenland Foods plant in Grantham, East Midlands, have agreed to a redundancy package from parent company Northern Foods.

Northern Foods had made public its plan to mothball the site following the end of a supply contract with Marks & Spencer, as reported on FLEXNEWS mid-May.

The plant, which used to produce M&S’s Italian ready meal range, will close on 25 August, add the reports.
