Orchard House

Orchard House Foods, Corby,
Staff at Corby’s Orchard House Foods have this morning rolled-up their sleeves and carried on to aid a bid to save the firm’s five Corby factories.

The Earlstrees Industrial Estate company announced late last night that it is entering administration, weeks after its Gateshead factory closed.

Those involved in the administration are hoping to keep the Corby site open as part of a pre-pack deal, with the company’s assets sold as a going concern to existing directors or a third party.
