Bakkavor plans £20M factory extension and 270 new jobs
In October, chilled food manufacturer Bakkavor submitted plans for a £20M extension of its factory in Nottinghamshire, with the potential to create up to 270 jobs.
If approved, the extension would create 220 new roles on the factory floor and 50 new office staff at the Jessops Way, Newark site.
Commenting on the planning application, a Bakkavor spokeswoman said: “This is an exciting time for Bakkavor Desserts as the business continues to grow.
“Our proposed investment will further enhance our capabilities as a leading desserts manufacturer and we anticipate that we will have a number of new jobs available in the second half of next year if this proposal goes ahead.”
