The company, which is the UK’s third-largest supplier of crisps and snacks, plans to close the site in Skelmersdale, Lancashire. The facility produces 33% of Golden Wonder’s total annual crisps production, reported the Yorkshire Post.
“The planned closure of the Skelmersdale site comes after long and detailed consideration of Golden Wonder’s manufacturing operation in which every possible option has been explored,” Golden Wonder chief executive Ed Jackson was quoted as saying.
“We will be working closely with employees and the representatives throughout the consultation process, seeking to explore ways in which we can mitigate the impact of the planned closure.”
