In brief
Nestlé announces job losses at its York site
Following a report in the York Press, the company said consultation with staff is ongoing and at this stage has not put a number on the job losses, but cited ‘increasing competition in the confectionery space as a factor in the decision’.
“The confectionery industry is extremely competitive and, as a business, Nestlé needs to continuously evolve to meet fast-changing consumer trends and demands,” a spokesperson said.
“In order to remain competitive and continue to invest in innovation, we have made the difficult decision to consult with employees about a small number of job reductions in our York-based marketing, supply chain and project manager teams.
“We are working hard to support those individuals whose roles will be affected.”
