Linwoods Announce 90 Job Cuts
Up to 90 jobs are to be lost at Armagh-based food business, Linwoods.
The company has said that the business has been hit by "changing consumer taste" with the demand for white bread "falling dramatically".
Despite the jobs cuts, the company said that its health food division was "thriving".
Joint Managing Director of Linwoods, John Woods, said that it was "obviously a very difficult decision" for the company.
"We will do all that we can to make this process as smooth as we can for them and their families," he said.
"We have had to react to a change in the requirements of our market.
"Our health food business is growing and continues to be successful around the world.
"Our focus and our investment will now be placed on this side of the business."
