AVARA FOODS CLOSURE PLAN PUTS 400 JOBS AT RISK

  • Senedd News

Commenting on the news that one of the UK's largest food production companies has announced plans to close a factory putting 400 jobs at risk, Welsh Conservative Shadow Minister for Finance, Peter Fox MS, Said:

 

“It is worrying news to read this morning that the Avara Foods plant at Abergavenny in Monmouthshire is closing one of their factories. The potential job losses will have a considerable impact on the local economy and the lives of the workers and their families.

 

“I feel for the workers who are living in limbo, waiting for news about whether their jobs are safe. This is another huge blow for the area, with Tillery foods entering administration last week, I can only hope that this is not a sign of future job losses in the area.

 

“In light of this distressing news, I have submitted a topical question in the Senedd to ensure Labour Ministers outline what urgent action is being taken to support those impacted.”
