2 Sisters’ chicken plant to close threatening 430 jobs
2 Sisters cast doubt on the future of 430 jobs when it confirmed plans to close its Haughley Park roast chicken factory in Suffolk, in October.
The Haughley Park site employs 680 workers, of which 430 are full-time employees. 2 Sisters said there was potential to relocate up to 200 jobs.
It 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, had previously said the plans would be “devastating”.
