Description

Vegetarian frozen food manufacturer Linda McCartney has announced that it is to create up to 150 new jobs at its factory in Norfolk, following a site improvement, which is expected to be completed by autumn.

The company has announced that the move follows a trend towards lower meat consumption leading to an increase in demand for its vegetarian ranges.
