Young's Seafood has confirmed that formal consultations are open with a view to closing two seafood factories in Fraserburgh and Grantown on Spey, with the loss of 900 jobs.
The company is looking to restructure following the loss of a major contract to supply salmon to Sainsbury’s.
Once the Fraserburgh and Grantown on Spey factories are closed, Young's would focus on sites in Livingston, Annan and Grimsby, where 200 jobs could be created.
