250 jobs are under threat
THE threat of 250 jobs being lost as Mortons Rolls teeters on the brink of collapse is a blow Drumchapel 'cannot afford', local councillors said today.
Bosses at the bakery sent a letter to staff on Friday saying that they were being 'laid off with immediate effect' - but workers say they have been left in limbo with no contact since. “Decent, hardworking folk have been left in complete limbo with no idea of how they are going to meet their mortgage payments.
“We want to see a plan to secure the future of staff and start production as soon as possible so that management can try to sell the business as a going concern if need be."We previously told how Companies House said on its website that there is an"active proposal to strike off" the firm, whose accounts for the year to March 31, 2022 were required to be filed by December 31 - and are now more than nine weeks late.
“Our hope is that, with the right support, they might be able to continue to operate or for a potential buyer to take over this significant operation. We are doing everything in our power to ensure the situation can be salvaged.”She said:"I've been updated by theteam who are working with national agencies to mobilise support for the Mortons' workforce.
