Bernard Matthews confirms closure of headquarters
After much speculation and uncertainty, Bernard Matthews has officially announced the closure of its headquarters, located in Norfolk, England. The decision comes as a result of financial difficulties faced by the iconic turkey producer.
In a statement released by the company, CEO James Lee expressed his regret over the closure, emphasizing the impact it will have on the employees affected. “This was a difficult decision to make, but one that was necessary in order to ensure the long-term viability of the company,” said Lee.
The closure of the headquarters will result in the loss of over 200 jobs, with employees being offered severance packages and support in finding new employment opportunities. The decision has come as a shock to many in the industry, as Bernard Matthews has been a household name in the UK for over 60 years.
Despite the closure of the headquarters, Bernard Matthews has stated that its operations will continue at its various production sites across the country. The company remains committed to providing high-quality turkey products to its customers, both in the UK and abroad.
