Good news this week as Ocado and Mitchells and Butlers announce new food jobs
It seems that tentative reports of a gradually stabilising economy might just pan out, as large food and drink retailers increasingly announce development plans and the creation of more food jobs. The two latest companies to announce expansion plans this week are internet grocery retailer Ocado and restaurant chain Mitchells and Butlers.
Ocado creates 2,200 new food jobs
Ocado, who sell Waitrose products through their grocery and homeware website, are planning to open a large new distribution centre. Bosses have told the press they haven't made a final decision as to the site of the new centre (speculation cites areas in the West Midlands and the South as under consideration), but they do know that they will start work on it by the end of 2010. The centre will hopefully be completed in two years time, creating more than 2,000 food jobs at the same time.
Mitchells & Butlers: expansion plans
Restaurant group Mitchells & Butlers already run hundreds of UK pubs, bars and restaurants, but they have big plans to expand their company to manage nearly 2,000. This could mean thousands of new restaurant and food jobs opening up.
The company has said they intend to focus more on food by doubling the number of Sizzling Pub Co, Harvester, Crown Carveries and Toby Carvery outlets in the UK, planning to site them in leisure centres and shopping centres.
