E-cigarette manufacturer Nerudia has announced that it is to create 150 new jobs at its new plant in Speke on Merseyside.

Recruitment has already started for the first 30 positions with recruitment expected to continue for three years to bring the total number of new jobs up to 150. The new site and new jobs reflect the growing popularity of the e-cigarette or vaporiser, the market for the product has grown rapidly since its introduction a decade ago.
