Description

Manufacturer of ready made meals KK Fine Foods has announced plans to create 200 new jobs at its site in Deeside, North Wales. The announcement follows the sale of 90% of the company to Belgium-based food company Ter Beke. This has generated funds for 13 million GBP investment to buy and renovate a 60,000 square feet unit on the same industrial site where the firm currently operates. A spokesperson for the company said that the investment was needed in order to match demand for the business's products. The new jobs are expected to be filled over a twelve month period.
