“They have to be processed through the factory, so to be short of people to help us do that has had a major impact.”
Paul Kelly, Managing Director Bronze Turkeys in Danbury, Essex, also commented. He said: “We’re okay as a small family business, we only need a relatively small number of people.
“But the bigger guys that need thousands of people to come and make sure the turkeys get delivered, they’re not taking the risk because they’re not getting any support from the government in terms of ‘you will be allowed to bring your usual workforce in from Europe’.
“That’s not happening at this point in time so they’re not taking the risk to put the turkeys on the farm, because if they can’t get them processed at Christmas, they can’t risk putting them on the farm.”
