(UNITED KINGDOM, 6/18/2010)
Grimsby-based fish juggernaut The Seafood Company intends to close its Hull filleting factory due to financial instability and move it across the Humber to Grimsby.
"Against a backdrop of fuel price increases, bridge toll charges and the need to undertake capital investment in the factory, the costs of transporting fish between our factories in Grimsby and Hull does not make commercial sense,” explained Managing Director Pete Ward.
It has entered into a 30-day consultation with staff at Midgleys. All 41 employees will have the choice to move to Grimsby, where the operations will take place, and keep working for the company.
If despite the "reasonably high" levels of interest in commuting jobs are left to fill, the firm will seek local workers.
