Tesco's new North London delivery depot could create 550 food jobs
In what has been an exciting few months for food job hunters as the UK's leading supermarkets battle it out with increasingly ambitious expansion plans, market leader Tesco has announced that it is to create up to 550 new food jobs in Brimsdown, North London.
Tesco has announced the news that a planning application for a new distribution centre on Mollison Avenue in Brimsdown has been submitted to Enfield Council. It is believed that Tesco chose the site due to its excellent transport links, good quality local workers and convenient location.
If the plans are given the green light, the new centre could create a total of 550 new jobs for the area. As well as serving Tesco's various Express convenience stores in the surrounding areas, the new distribution centre will process online grocery and household shopping orders.
Commenting on the company's plans, Tesco's corporate affairs manager Jonathan Simpson said:

"We think the new distribution centre will give a real lift to the area and bring the Mollison Avenue site back into use after being empty for some time. It will create about 550 job opportunities for local people.
"We're delighted to bring investment to the Enfield area and hope the distribution centre will open in October 2011."
