The blaze at the 2 Sisters plant in Morecambe damaged much of the factory and has left sections of the site that are still unsafe, a spokesman told just-food today (1 June).
The Morecambe facility is one of four processing sites run by 2 Sisters in the UK. The company plans to switch production to its other facilities and is looking into ways of also moving staff across.
“It’s not ideal but it is something we are looking into as an option,” the spokesman said.
2 Sisters serves “half a dozen” retail customers from the Morecambe site, he added, and the group is in discussions about how to continue supply.
