Nestle set to create 300 new jobs - graduate jobs

Graduates can expect to find new job opportunities, after a global food company unveiled plans to expand production facilities at one of its plants in Britain.

By 2013, Nestle is set to create 300 new job openings at the South Derbyshire factory as the production of pods for its Nescafe Dolce Gusto range accelerates.

Prime Minister David Cameron described the firm's £110 million investment as excellent news for the UK's manufacturing industry.

The announcement was made at Nestle's coffee production site in Tutbury, near Burton-upon-Trent.

The new project at Tutbury will house 12 new high-speed production lines. They will make coffee pods for sale in the UK and in around 38 other nations.

At the same time, with the Dolce Gusto plant expanding, the total workforce is expected to reach around 800 by 2013.

The upcoming Nestle Academy will welcome some of the new staff members within its first intake.
