Donald Russell, a specialist butcher and mail-order meat supplier, owned by Vestey Food Group, is facing potential closure, putting over 100 jobs at risk. The online retailer, which sells D2C and B2B, has faced an insurmountable number of challenges over recent years and, as such, has entered into a 45-day collective consultation process.
In a letter to Gordon and Buchan MP, Harriet Cross, interim CEO of Donald Russell Matthew Flood, wrote, “During this period, we remain open to exploring all viable alternatives, including actively marketing the business for sale to new owners who might be able to operate it more successfully.”
“However, we are also planning realistically for closure, and our priority is to support our colleagues through this difficult period with transparency, dignity and all available assistance.”
