Description
Prepared meal manufacturing company Pro-Pak Foods announced plans to create 100 new jobs as a result of signing a new contract with a client. The expansion requires additional 111,000 meals per week, producing significant growth. The company, based in Malton (North Yorkshire), currently employs around 400 people. The job creation includes various roles within food manufacturing, including operatives, team leaders, chefs, as well as in the packaging and logistics. Even though reports do not specify when the new positions will be created, it is known that production will need to increase significantly from September 2019 to meet the increase in demand from the new contract.
