The proposal is for the Nuneaton site to remain operational until at least mid-2025.

“We know how unsettling this can be for our employees who we are supporting throughout the consultation process,” a HelloFresh statement read.

“If the proposal is accepted, we will prioritise redeployment opportunities within the business and look to offer incentives to employees who stay with us until the site eventually closes.

“The planned closure of the site is no reflection on the performance of the local team and we are grateful for their hard work and commitment.”

Gavin Miller from Community said: “It has been brought to our attention that HelloFresh intends to close its Nuneaton distribution centre next May.

“This is dreadful news for everyone who works on site, this workforce deserves better and Community will be challenging the company to prove the merits of their proposal and demonstrate that they have considered all viable alternatives.

“Community will be representing and supporting our members at HelloFresh through this difficult time – they will receive the full backing of their union.”

Jodie Gosling, MP for Nuneaton, said any loss of local jobs was “concerning”.

“I will be working with affected staff, Community union and the company to explore mitigations and alternatives to this announcement,” she said.

“I urge any constituents who have been affected by this development to reach out to my office.”
