Cafe owner forced to bake his own rolls to stay afloat after Mortons collapse

Fraser Bisley, who owns Bisley’s Bites, claims some suppliers have doubled their prices since the Drumchapel-based factory stopped production.

“However, now I’m being quoted 50p per roll, which is around double what it was before Mortons stopped delivering. Then, when you add on the cost of quality meat, which has also risen by 25%, it means the profit margin on a traditional roll and sausage is now very little."He added:"Rolls are our staple and the most popular items on our menu, and pretty much the same for any business like ours.

We previously told how bosses at Mortons Rolls sent a letter to staff on Friday saying that 250 employees were being 'laid off with immediate effect'. Fraser, who has run the eatery on Carbeth Road, says his heart goes out to those whose jobs have been left hanging in the balance.He added: “It’s a terrible situation and I know that some of these people have worked in the factory since they left school. Now they don’t know where their next pay packet is coming from.
