McDonalds and Ocado expansions create new food jobs
It's good news for the food and drink industry this week, as well as for food job hunters, as both fast food chain McDonalds and high-end online supermarket and supplier Ocado have announced ambitious plans for expansion.
McDonalds expansion plans in Scunthorpe
Fast food restaurant chain McDonalds has announced a new £500,000 plan to expand a Scunthorpe outlet situated next to Glanford Park football stadium. Franchise owner Bob Meadowcroft, who owns four McDonalds restaurants and already employs 310 people in food jobs, is planning the expansion mainly because of Scunthorpe United's recent success.
The expansion is expected to create 12 new food jobs in the area, and Mr Meadowcroft has revealed that this number may increase once the restaurant is open 24 hours a day.
Ocado to open new distribution centre in Warwickshire
Ocado, the delivery operator for Waitrose, is planning to build a new £200 million distribution centre near Tamworth in Warwickshire. The local council has approved the expansion plans, as Ocado have promised to create up to 2,000 new food jobs for the area. The facility will be capable of processing up to 200,000 customer orders once fully operational in 2012.
