Coca-Cola Warns Of Job Cuts
A total of 288 jobs are at risk at Coca-Cola Enterprise's (CCE) UK operations.
The company said the losses are a result of changes to the way it distributes its products.
CCE produces and distributes Coca-Cola drinks across Europe, but said it was proposing to end direct deliveries to restaurants.
It is expected the job losses would occur at the CCE sites in Bristol, East Kilbride, Northampton, Sidcup, Wakefield and North London, with 32 positions at risk at its East Kilbride facility.
The firm, which employs 4,400 people across the UK, said: "We have now started a full consultation on these proposals with our employee representative bodies and the Unite trade union.
"We do not make these proposals lightly and we will, of course, be looking to minimise redundancies as far as possible and will offer support to help colleagues through this process."
The Unite union said the move was a "devastating blow".
