Nestlé’s £110M expansion leads to 400 jobs
News that Nestlé was recruiting for the 400 jobs created by the £110M expansion of its Dolce Gusto coffee manufacturing facility in Tutbury, Derbyshire, proved popular with readers this year.
Up to 100 roles will be created for apprentices, interns and graduates via the Nestlé Academy – set up to attract new talent and invest in skills and training for the future of the food business.
The other 300 will be manufacturing jobs. Nestlé aimed to fill the majority of the 400 roles over the course of 2013.
The Tutbury extension is part of Nestlé’s wider £500M investment programme in the UK.
In November 2012 Prime Minister David Cameron visited the Tutbury site to view the factory and the plans for the Dolce Gusto extension.
“This new investment by Nestlé and the jobs it will create is brilliant news for UK manufacturing and for the local community,” Cameron said.
