Consett KP Snacks factory to close next year

KP Snacks factory will close next year, putting more than 100 jobs at risk, according to the BBC.

The closure, which has been under debate since September, has been confirmed by KP Snacks after a consultation.

The firm is streamlining operations and may transfer jobs to sites in nearby Tanfield and Billingham, Teesside.

A statement from KP said: “Collective consultation has now closed at Consett and we can confirm that the site will close in 2015.

“We are now commencing individual consultations with those impacted.”
