Morrisons today announced that Myton Food Group will be relocating its headquarters to the first manufacturing site of the Bradford-based supermarket in Cutler Heights Lane.
The move will allow Myton, Morrisons' supply partner, to move 100 employees to the site at the end of April.
A spokesman for Morrisons said: “Myton Food Group is a strategic supply partner for Morrisons and other major retailers and foodservice customers, and will move its headquarters to Cutler Heights from the end of this month.
“The move will allow Myton to start again at the Morrisons first production site, with about 100 colleagues moving to the site.
“New business opportunities are launched at Cutler for Myton and we look forward to showcasing many of these in the coming months.”
Cllr Matt Edwards (Tong – Green Party) welcomed the move to use vacant sites.
He states: “As a ward councillor, I look forward to the Myton Food Group moving to the vacant Morrisons site in Cutler Heights.
“The Morrisons are an important part of Bradford's local economy and it's great to see this announcement.
“All three Ton Ward Councillors look forward to meeting Maiton to hear what they are planning and what opportunities they have for local people.”
The Cutler Heights site has been vacant since late 2023 after Morrisons announced in July that it would halt operations at the Bradford Distribution Centre.
Cutler Heights was the supermarket chain's first agricultural site, and was used to supply 59 fruits and 115 million fruits a year.
In July 2023, Morrisons said they would “integrate” and move all the work into other fruit packing sites in Slapston, Northamptonshire.
The move took place in late 2023, with 456 employees at the time, which had 456 employees at risk of redundancy.
The supermarket giant Morrisons was purchased in 2021 by private equity giant Clayton, Dubilier & Rice (CD&R).
Telegraph and Argus contacted Bradford South MP Judith Cummins to comment on their plans for Myton Food Group to move to the Cutler Heights site.
