Beston Global Food Company collapses; workers deserve support, MP says
One of the Murraylands’ biggest employers, with dairy factories at Murray Bridge and Jervois, will close next month.
More than 150 dairy industry workers will need government support when the Beston Global Food Company shuts down in a week’s time, the state opposition says.
The company, which operates factories at Murray Bridge and Jervois, will take its final milk deliveries next Tuesday and cease production next Friday, December 6.
As well as leaving those workers without jobs, Beston’s collapse will also leave around 40 dairy farmers stuck with unpaid debts worth millions of dollars.
