Greenvale closing potato processing plant in Wisbech

Up to 17 jobs could go following the announcement that Greenvale Foods will be shutting its potato processing plant in Wisbech by June 14.

Some of the equipment and current orders will be transferred to the company's factory in Telford.

A spokesman for Greenvale AP said: "Due to tough trading conditions within the potato processing sector, the board of directors of Greenvale AP Ltd has conducted a review of group processing.

"This review has regretably concluded that it is not sustainable to continue operating at current levels at the Greenvale Foods, Wisbech factory and with no foreseeable improvement in market conditions, it has decided to close this facility."
