"Bernard Matthews has confirmed it will close its Norfolk plant after almost seven decades in operation.

The Great Witchingham plant, a turkey processing site established in 1955, will now shut down as it no longer commercially viable, the firm said.

This is "despite investment and efforts to secure more business", a spokesperson for Bernard Matthews explained.

They confirmed that a 'large majority' of affected staff would be offered roles at other locations across the country.

It is anticipated that operations at Great Witchingham will cease at a date to be confirmed at the end of this month.

It comes after Bernard Matthews reported losses of £10 million in 2023 following losses amounting to £25 million in 2022."
