• More than 30 milk tanker drivers working for Wincanton Logistics out of a Cornish depot face an uncertain future following a decision by Wincanton's parent company Unigate to close its St Erth site. Last week Unigate, through its dairy products division St Ivel which runs the depot, announced that the closure would ultimately lead to the loss of 300 jobs.
A spokesman for Vv'incanton says it is too early to say how the closure will affect its staff. "The milk will still be collected by our drivers, it's just a question of to where it will be taken," he says.
Production of the milk will be transferred to St Ivel's factories in Evercreech on and Chard in Somerset.
