Description

Home delivery company Keen and Able has announced plans to create 100 new jobs as part of its relocation from Long Eaton to Northampton. The move will create a new distribution centre which will be the base from which the company delivers and installs bedroom furniture. The business is able to support the new roles as it has experienced rapid growth in demand for its products. There is no information on when the jobs are expected to be filled, but the firm is holding a recruitment drive on 15 November 2018.
