In a statement to staff at the bakery, McCambridge said that the site had racked up “considerable” losses “for some time”.


“We have now reached a situation where we need to re-evaluate the feasibility of continuing with the operation,” the company said.


A spokesperson for the group told just-food that McCambridge is looking to transfer some staff to another factory in an effort to mitigate job losses.


While the company has not yet come to a final decision over the closure, around 80 job losses are expected.
