Glanbia to close nine retail outlets

AS part of its ongoing strategic review and development, Glanbia Agribusiness yesterday announced the closure of nine retail branches in Kilkenny, Waterford, Cork and Wexford.

All the affected branches are one-man operations and, taking into account pending retirements and redeployments, the net job losses will be limited to two. The branches are due to close in early 2006.

The closures are part of the strategic development of Glanbia’s Agribusiness division, which will continue with 62 branches.
