Jobs threat at Findus Grimsby fish factory

Findus started a 30-day consultation in January with 300 staff in the production, operations and technical teams. It would not confirm whether the redundancies were a result of the loss of the Sainsbury's business. "The proposal is driven by the need to adjust capacity to fit current production ­requirement," it said in a statement, The Grocer reported. A Sainsbury's spokesperson told the Grocer that it had recently ended its existing supply agreement with Young's on certain lines, as they were making changes to their supply base that would enable them to continue to provide customers with great food at fair prices, trade more efficiently and offer improved choice.
