Major Scottish drinks firm cuts jobs at Forfar base
AG Barr has confirmed 13 manufacturing roles are to go at Strathmore Water
Just over a dozen jobs are to be cut at Strathmore Water in Forfar.
Scottish drinks giant AG Barr says it's down to a slump in sales during the pandemic.
13 manufacturing positions will go.
A spokesperson from AG Barr said: "The Strathmore brand has been impacted by reduced hospitality sector sales during lockdown.
"Whilst we are seeing some recovery across hospitality, it will take time for the sector to regain momentum and as such we do not anticipate Strathmore returning to pre-COVID-19 sales levels in the foreseeable future.
"Regrettably, as a consequence we have had to reduce our manufacturing workforce at our Forfar site by 13 people."
