Description
French company Fillcare has announced that it is to create nearly 200 at their plant in Talbot Green, Rhondda Cynon Taf, South Wales over the next four years, with recruitment expected to start in Autumn 2010.
Approximately 200 jobs were lost there in 2008 when the previous owners, L'Oreal, moved production abroad. When Fillcare, who manufactures and packages hair products for leading brands, took over the site in Summer 2009 they retained 66 employees, which has since risen to 73. They are now to invest £7m in new equipment and a new production line, a move which is supported by the Welsh Assembly Government, and expand into manufacturing for other brands and into the aerosol market.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
