Bid to save under-threat Glasgow McVitie’s factory with ‘compelling proposal’
The factory in Tollcross, Glasgow employs nearly 500 workers (Pladisglobal/PA)
A “compelling proposal” to secure the future of the closure-threatened McVitie’s biscuit factory in Glasgow will be made to the owners of the site.
Nearly 500 jobs are at risk at the factory in Tollcross, which opened nearly 100 years ago in the city’s East End and makes confections including Hobnobs and Rich Tea biscuits.
Parent company, Turkish-owned Pladis, has blamed “excess capacity” at its UK sites and plans to shutter the Glasgow factory in the second half of 2022 and move production elsewhere.
