North Tyneside MP Mary Glindon admits she has hit a “brick wall” as she attempts to gain further information on the continuing confusion at Longbenton Foods Newcastle site.
Staff at Longbenton Foods’ Benton Lane factory in Newcastle upon Tyne have reacted with disbelief to claims by owner Geir Frantzen that bosses have maintained “excellent” dialogue with employees during its recent troubles.
Northumberland County Council is hoping to recoup its £250,000 investment in Northumberland Foods after the administration-hit firm restarted production.
