It is great news that Banham Poultry have struck a deal that will secure the future of the over 2,000 people employed by them – either directly or through the supply chain.

The deal is a huge relief to those who work for the company and their families, as well as the wider Attleborough/Mid Norfolk community and economy.

I would like to thank once again the brilliant team of partners (Breckland District Council, Norfolk County Council, the New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership, the local Department for Work and Pensions, the Rt Hon Elizabeth Truss MP, Banham Poultry themselves, and others others) who came together to help get this deal over the line.

I very much look forward to seeing the company and its staff now go on from strength to strength in the weeks and months to come.
