The firm also said it would consolidate milk rounds to allow the closure of 23 depots.
Union will 'do everything' to support dairy workers
– Cath Speight, Unite national officerThese closures will be a massive blow for the workers and the local areas affected. As more and more people are made redundant, job opportunities are becoming even scarcer. We now owe it to our members and their families to do everything in our power to help and support them.
We hope Dairy Crest's management will rethink this decision and we urge them to offer the staff affected every opportunity for redeployment within the business.
