Arla looking to close cheese site in UK Following a decline in site volumes due to loss of own-label cheese contracts, as well as continued instability in foodservice demand due to the ongoing pandemic, dairy cooperative Arla Foods is proposing to end production at its Trevarrian Creamery in Cornwall, subject to consultation with employees at the site.
The proposal could result in the closure of Trevarrian Creamery by early summer 2021, with the potential loss or relocation of up to 37 jobs.
Trevarrian is a small village about 5km north of Newquay, on the northern coast of Cornwall.
The site produces a range of Brie, Camembert and other cheeses predominantly under local brands or own-label retailer brands. Arla said volumes at the site have been in decline for the past three years, and this has been worsened by the loss of own-label cheese contracts on top of the continued instability in foodservice demand due to the ongoing pandemic.
