Description

Saxby's, one of the UK's leading suppliers in pastries and pork pies has announced that 200 jobs will be cut from the total workforce of 325. The company which celebrated their centenary in 2004, said it has no choice but to cease production of its delicatessen-style baked products. A spokesman said sales have been in decline over a long period of time. The company will now focus on producing pies which can be cooked at home.
