Linwoods loses 70 employees as baking production ends

Family-run business and food firm Linwoods has announced the closure of its bakery division with the loss of approximately 70 jobs.

The 60 year old firm made the decision to close their division following an ongoing review of its business model.

The company currently has 140 full time employees in Northern Ireland and operates across two sites in Co Armagh.

Consequently, the workforce at Linwoods’ Monaghan Road headquarters in Armagh will be hit hard, losing 70 full time employees.
