Miles Warde tells the story of the closure of Cadbury's Somerdale factory near Bristol.

Miles Warde presents the inside story of the closure of Cadbury's Somerdale plant. Two years in the making, this programme follows the turmoil surrounding Kraft's hostile bid.

Two years in the making, this is the inside story of how the Somerdale chocolate factory near Bristol became caught up in a huge global tale. Cadbury announced the factory was closing over two years ago, but the American food giant Kraft reckoned they could keep it open if their bid for Cadbury proved a success. Six days after winning, they announced Somerdale would shut, making employees feel they'd been made redundant all over again.

Producer Miles Warde.
