UK: Former Lyndale Foods bakery finds no buyers, another 200 on the Nat King Cole
Local media report that more than 200 staff at the Peter Hunt Bakery, in Kearsley, near Bolton, have lost their jobs as administrators failed to find a buyer for the plant.
There had been uncertainty as to the future of the bakery following parent company Lyndale Foods’ collapse last month. The Sale-based group, which specialised in the manufacturing and sale of various sweet and savoury bakery products, was put into administration in early June.
A management buyout secured the jobs of 230 workers at Lyndale Foods' Hampsons bakery in Bolton but a Sayers Liverpool plant and around 40 Hampsons stores closed with a combined loss of 450 jobs.
The Peter Hunt plant supplied various retailers with savoury pies and pastries.
