Meal-kit brand Gousto is shutting down its production warehouse in Clay Lake, Lincolnshire, a move that places 290 jobs at risk.
The company confirmed the closure as part of a broader strategy to streamline its supply chain and enhance operational efficiency.
All production activities will be consolidated at Gousto’s existing facility in Warrington, Cheshire.
This site will handle the preparation and dispatch of all meal boxes moving forward, eliminating the need for a dual-warehouse model.
The decision reflects the intense pressure on the meal-kit sector to reduce overheads and improve margins in a crowded market.
The restructuring underscores the challenges facing subscription-based food services as they seek sustainable growth models.
