Little Chef Staff Fear 600 Job Losses
A roadside restaurant has said that it will be closing 67 or its 161 sites resulting in up to 600 job losses.
Little Chef have said the move will mean between 500 and 600 job losses and that the sites earmarked for closure have been performing unprofitably for a number of years.
They said a number of factors have contributed to this move including economic and location factors.
The job losses will affect both full –time and part time staff across the country and will leave them with a workforce of around 1,500.
The GMB union, which has members at the chain, said the situation showed private equity was a "disaster" for jobs.
Little Chef chairman Graham Sims said:"Consequently, following a thorough review in which we considered all the options, it is with regret that we have had to close a number of sites. This means some people's jobs are at risk throughout the organisation. We will do everything in our power to help every individual find alternative employment within the Little Chef organisation."
