“Two sites are being considered – Uttoxeter [Staffordshire] and Baxley, Yorkshire,” a spokesperson for Unite – the union organising the march – told just-food today.


“We have 800 members at the Fox’s plant in Uttoxeter. If the other site were to be selected we could potentially be looking at them all being lost.”


The march will be a Valentine’s themed event, as workers “show their love” for their jobs.


The management at Northern’s Fox’s Biscuits is expected to make a decision on the plant’s future in early March.
