Bosses at Isle of Man Creamery say they'll explore every avenue to reduce costs and improve returns.
That from Managing Director Findlay Macleod, who yesterday announced ten redundancies at the Tromode plant, half of them on voluntary terms.
Rising farm costs and a long-term fall in milk production by Manx dairy farmers triggered a wide-ranging review of the Creamery operation.
Over the past year, the workforce has been reduced by around 15 per cent.
Mr Macleod says the lower intake of milk has had a direct impact on the business and a 'significant' increase in costs.
He told us running a creamery on which all Island dairy farmers depend, is a balancing act:
Yellow weather warning overnight for ice
MLC calls for 'wider conversation' on how constitutional changes are made
Foodbank 'run off feet' as donations decline
Fire crews respond to 'smoke and chemical smell' in Port St Mary
