Greggs has announced plans to close four of its factories, in a move that could result in 740 job losses over the next two and a half years.
The bakery chain said it was consulting on the closures, which would initially cost £60m when including disruption costs and redundancy payments, but then could create £20m of savings each year by 2028.
