Logo for Cadbury is Our Longbridge - Episode 2

Miles Warde tells the inside story of the closure of Cadbury's Somerdale factory near Bristol. Two years in the making, the series reveals how Somerdale became caught up in a global story. Cadbury first announced the closure of this historic site at the end of 2007, and said that much of the production would be moved to Poland instead. Miles explores why that decision was made, and what happens in an economy where the shareholder is always put first.
