Müller Milk & Ingredients has revealed that up to 50 jobs are at risk after it decided to review its depot operations in Aberdeen.
The dairy giant’s distribution, garage, tanker and retail operations in Aberdeen will face a 30-day consultation process. Muller is proposing to relocate its operations to existing sites in central Scotland.
Ian Smith, CEO of Muller Milk and Ingredients Distribution, said: “We need to continually adapt to meet changing customer and consumer preferences. We’re facing into the reality of a decline in fresh milk consumption and significant changes in retailing. The volume going through our Aberdeen site has been severely impacted, and with the majority of our customers distribution operations now located in central Scotland, we need to take action.”
