Around 900 jobs are under threat at two North East Scotland factories after the major seafood company confirmed formal consultations are to open with a view to the closure of two sites at Fraserburgh and Grantown on Spey.
If the closures take place then 200 new jobs would be created at the firm’s three sites at Annan, Livingston and Grimsby.
Young’s Seafood said yesterday they were looking to restructure following the loss of a contract.
