UK's largest poultry group may close three factories putting 900 jobs at risk
Nine hundred jobs are under threat at three poultry plants belonging to 2 Sisters Food Group, the UK's largest supplier of supermarket chicken, which has been dogged by a controversy over food standards.
The potential closure of two of the firm's West Midlands factories in Smethwick and Wolverhampton, plus a third in Cambuslang in South Lanarkshire, follow a nightmare year for the company, which has included the closing of a further site in Smethwick as well as a Guardian and ITV undercover investigation that prompted production to be suspended for five weeks last autumn at the group's West Bromwich plant.
