Description

Multinational food manufacturer Cargill has announced plans to create 100 new jobs in Wolverhampton. The firm which already employs 170 people at its chicken processing facility in the Bilbrook area of the city, has invested GBP 35 million in a new production line which will be operational by the end of the summer 2018. The site produces battered and breaded products for a leading fast food chain. There is no information available as to when the jobs will be filled, though the recruitment process is already underway.
