Morrisons has started a consultation on whether to close its own brand bakery[/caption]

Morrisons has said it started a consultation over the potential closure of its Rathbones own-label bakery operation in Wakefield.

The decision comes after a “thorough review”.

The decision will put 378 workers on the site at risk of redundancy.

Morrisons saved the bakery business from administration in 2005 but has struggled to make it profitable in recent years.
