Description

Warburtons has announced plans to create 450 new jobs in a new bakery to be built on the outskirts of Bristol. As of May 2008, there is no information on when either employment will commence or the new jobs will be created by. The company expects the new bakery to produce over 1.5 million products per week. It identified that demand for its products had reached an all time high and that the location of the site in terms of its logistical connections made it ideal both now and in the future as demand increases further.
