Nearly 100 jobs at risk at Peter’s Food Service
Peter’s Food Service, known for its sausage rolls and pies, is set to reduce production at its Bedwas site as part of its business review.
This decision is said to affect up to 90 members of staff. According to the company, the business has experienced exceptional increases in raw material prices and has taken the decision to “terminate some contracts which it considers unviable for the business”.
