May 13 2008 by Tony McDonough, icNorthWest

The future of more than 700 jobs at a factory which makes Italian ready meals for Marks & Spencer looks bleak today after managers announced plans to stop production at the site.

Northern Foods says its Fenland Foods site in Grantham, Lincolnshire, will be “mothballed” from August.

It is currently looking for other customers to fill the gap left by the withdrawal of M&S product lines at the plant.
