UK break maker Hovis is reducing production levels at its Wigan bakery in a move that will put 48 jobs "at risk".

Chief operations officer Simon Devereaux cited "ongoing pressure and changes in the bread market" as the reason for the group's review of production levels.

"As a result 48 roles at our Wigan bakery are at risk. We are consulting with the colleagues affected by this very difficult decision. No other bakeries are impacted," Devereaux said.

When contacted by just-food the company did not comment on what products and brands would be impacted.
