Greggs proposes closing four UK factories, putting 740 jobs at risk

Greggs proposed on 30 September 2026 closing factories in Enfield, Penrith, Kelso and Seaham, putting up to 740 jobs at risk over two and a half years. Enfield would retain distribution. The Newcastle baker employs over 33,000 people and says restructuring manufacturing will lower costs while it adds shops.
