Haughley Park chicken plant to close threatening 430 jobs
2 Sisters confirmed its plan to close its Haughley Park roast chicken factory in Suffolk – threatening the future of 430 jobs – in October.
The firm identified the potential to relocate up to 200 jobs. It had previously described the factory as “an ageing site with many challenges,” which did not meet the firm’s commitment to sustainable manufacturing.
The Union of Shop, Distributive and Allied Workers area organiser for Cambridgeshire and West Suffollk, Adam Skwierawski, said the announcement was “devastating”.
The Haughley Park site employs 680 workers, of which 430 are full-time employees.
