Bernard Matthews Bernard Matthews is planning to extend its factory in Alderford, Norfolk, in order to incorporate a sandwich and pizza processing section, with the creation of up to 150 jobs. Bernard Matthews is to close a number of farms, shut down its processing plant in Spalding, and pull out of the export commodity market, due to the effect of weak turkey meat prices and the strength of sterling. Bernard Matthews, the poultry producer, is opening two factories in Norfolk and Hungary to supply the Continent, but expects start-up costs to hamper this year's results. www.ukbusinesspark.co.uk /bes66624.htm   (0 words)
