Creative Foods Could Axe 149 Jobs

Up to 149 people could lose their jobs if Creative Foods, based in Flint, Wales, goes ahead with its plans to close.

The food company, which makes ready meals and other products, could close in May, however consultations with staff are underway.

In a statement, the company said: "Following an extensive review of our food manufacturing business and in the context of a long-term decline in the wholesale frozen ready meals product category, we have identified that Creative Foods, in Flint, north Wales, may no longer be a viable business."
