Laxey Glen Mills 'saddened' by Ramsey Bakery closure

Confirms conversations with government 'commenced'

Laxey Glen Mills has confirmed its 'commenced conversations' with the Manx Government about the impending closure of Ramsey Bakery.

It says it's 'saddened' that the business – which is a major customer of the mill -  is intending to close at the end of April.

In a statement a spokesperson for the mill adds: "The Mill has been in government ownership since 1974 and as our sole shareholder we have an ongoing 'day to day' working relationship with them.

"We have already commenced conversations and together will be reviewing the situation in the coming weeks."

Stock levels of wheat are said to be good.

Laxey Glen Mills is also assuring customers that it will continue to make and supply the finest flour from locally grown wheat with a small and dedicated team.
