A spokesperson for 2 Sisters said it was too early to discuss what impact the loss of the contract could have on the amount of staff that is employed at the site.

“It would be totally wrong to get into numbers at this stage,” the spokesperson told just-food today (17 August). “This is one contract loss from many; we produce a lot for different customers at Pizza Factory. Many avenues will be explored to mitigate the contract loss including redeployment elsewhere in the business, securing new business and seeking voluntary redundancies, so it would be wrong to start speculating as we begin consultations what may happen.”

In June, Boparan Holdings, the company behind 2 Sisters, reported a rise in profits for the third quarter of its financial year, although it posted a dip in like-for-like sales.
