29 January 2008 - To cater for the growing demand for its products, British baker Warburtons has invested GBP 330,000 in a new depot in Port Talbot, Wales.
According to the company, the depot will employ 31 people and will supply supermarkets in Mid and South West Wales.
The news comes several months after the baker announced the opening of its first bakery in Wales. In September last year, FLEXNEWS reported that Warburtons opened a GBP 10 million factory in Newport, South Wales.
Warburtons' Chairman, Jonathan Warburton, commented: "The opening of the depot signals another milestone in our continuing plans to drive the business forward".
"We are delighted with our strong performance to date and feel it reflects our sustained investment across the board but our job is not yet done. We will persist in our programme of building and opening state-of-the-art bakeries; we have invested in distribution – now supplying nationally through all the major multiples; and we are working hard to promote our culture and values to a growing workforce and reward and attract the best in the business", he added.
