The union representing workers at Bernard Matthews say they're "deeply disappointed" at plans to cut more than 150 jobs.

The Norfolk turkey producer announced earlier this week it was consulting with staff about cutting jobs at its headquarters at Great Witchingham.

The 'Unite' union say 96 production jobs are under threat, with other losses coming from managerial, technical and clerical staff.

However bosses say they will explore options to mitigate job losses.
