Dairygold sells cheese plant

DAIRYGOLD, now in the process of a major restructuring programme, has confirmed the sale completion of its 50% stake in the Aeron Valley cheese manufacturing plant in Wales.

The sale to British cheese manufacturer McLelland does not include an adjoining state-of-the-art packing facility which Dairygold has retained.

It said the move in relation to the Aeron Valley plant puts it on a stronger footing to expand British consumer foods sales.
