The factory, owned by Young’s Seafood, announced closure plans earlier this year, and it has been confirmed that the majority of contracts will come to an end this week.
A spokeswoman for the company yesterday said: “Most production at Pinneys concludes this week, after which a small crew will now remain to wind down operations at the site.”
Meanwhile, Government agencies are being urged by a South Scotland MSP to support the workforce. MSP Colin Smyth says more action is needed to help those affected by the closure as they seek alternative employment.
