Description

UK supermarket chain Morrisons has announced the creation of 200 jobs. Expansion of the supermarket's meat processing plant at Winsford, Cheshire will result in a range of new positions from production operatives to managerial and engineering staff. The facility which Morrisons took over from Vion foods in 2012 will expand the volume of its meat production.

This follows on from previous announcements of expansion in the company's manufacturing capacity, and expansion of its retail operations through the creation of new smaller convenience stores.
