Description

The UK supermarket chain Morrisons has announced that it is to create 90 jobs at its Farmers Boy facility in Deeside. The chain was able to secure £635,000 from the Welsh Government's Wales Economic Growth Fund and plans to invest £6.4m in the fresh meat facility.

The new investment follows the doubling of the size of the facility last year when staff numbers grew from 300 to 600. Currently, there is not timeline for the restructuring.
