Wessex Foods lays off staff
All 150 employees of the Wessex Foods factory in Lowestoft have now been laid off following a fire.
The blaze in July completely destroyed the plant, a major producer of burgers, steaks and mince.
Following the fire, the company began a 90-day consultation period with employees.
It had been hoped that, during this time, it would be possible to find another site for the plant in the area.
A Wessex Foods spokesperson said: "Vigorous efforts have been made to find a solution to allow the company to continue large-scale production in the area, but this has not proved possible.
"Staff have been made aware of other openings in the Anglo Beef Processors Group.
"It is with considerable regret that our production at Lowestoft has possibly come to an end. The plant was a leading producer of burgers and other meat products in the UK, supplying leading retailers and foodservice companies."
