Greggs Plans to Close Four Factories, Risking 740 Jobs

Greggs proposed on 30 September 2026 to close factories in Enfield, Penrith, Kelso and Seaham, putting up to 740 jobs at risk over two and a half years. Enfield would keep distribution work. The Newcastle-based bakery chain, with over 33,000 staff, says consolidating production will cut costs as it opens more shops.
