New Cadbury Cocoa Houses to create 3,500 food jobs nationwide

By Food Job Blogger on 19 October 2010 | Comments 0

A new chain of Cadbury Cocoa Houses is set to launch in the UK, potentially creating up to 3,500 new food jobs.

The ambitious enterprise is to be launched by Welsh entrepreneur David Morris, who was previously head of operations at drinks corporation Starbucks and head of food, drink and 34 restaurants at retail giants Harrods. His successful career was built on humble beginnings working in his family bakery business in Llandybie in Carmarthenshire.

Along with business partners Tony Goldsmith and Marilyn Newman, Morris is set to embark on his new venture that has been five years in the making- a range of cocoa houses bearing the iconic Cadbury brand and serving a range of hot and cold chocolate drinks, food and other affordable treats from an ever-changing menu.

Morris has insisted that the products used at the Cocoa Houses will all be made from locally sourced produce. He says:

"Wherever possible we've insisted on using local producers to keep the concept British,"

"You won't find French, Italian or American items on the menu."


The first Cadbury Cocoa House is set to open next week at the Bluewater shopping centre in Kent, with as many as ten others to follow nationwide.
