UK: Produce World Announces Plans To Close Two Sites

A vegetable grower has announced plans to close two of its sites in Lincolnshire, with a loss of 340 jobs.

Produce World plans to shut its plant in Butterwick, near Boston, which employs 250 people, and its Swinderby site, which has 90 staff.

The Peterborough-based company said "changing" shopping habits were partly to blame for the proposed closures.

However, it says it is creating 60 jobs in Wykeham by entering a joint venture with Lincolnshire Field Products.
