UK's 2 Sisters to close cutting line

UK's largest poultry processing company, 2 Sisters, is closing its cutting line at its factory in Letham, Scotland.

The company is to move the cutting division to the West Midland in England, with the loss of 95 jobs.

The plant in Letham was part of the former family run Joseph Mitchell (Letham) Ltd.

A spokesman for 2 Sisters said that the move will optimise production efficiencies across the group and enable Letham to focus on primary production.

The spokesman said that the downturn in the economy and changes in consumer demand have rendered the cutting division at the Scottish site uneconomical.
