Meal-kit provider Gousto has announced plans to shut down its production warehouse in Lincolnshire, a move that places 290 jobs at risk.
The company intends to consolidate its manufacturing operations into a single facility at its site in Warrington, Cheshire.
Gousto stated that the restructuring is necessary to improve operational efficiency in a highly competitive food market.
The consolidation aims to help the company maintain low prices for consumers while streamlining its supply chain.
The decision underscores the ongoing pressure on UK grocery and meal-kit operators to optimize costs.
This comes as the broader retail sector faces scrutiny over pricing strategies, with major supermarkets like Tesco recently warning against proposed government price caps on essential goods.
