A new five-year contract between The Village Bakery in Wrexham and the Swiss firm Hero Group will see the development of a £3 million facility near Wrexham which will mean the firm expanding its workforce.
The Village Bakery specialises in gluten-free products and the devlopment will see them producing four million gluten-free loaves every year. The expansion is expected to create 25 new jobs, in addition to 185 they currently employ.
The plans have been submitted to Cardiff council for the redevlopment of the supermarket on the existing St Mellons site. This would create 300 new jobs when it becomes a Tesco Extra. The expansion of the store will increase the staff from 200 to 500.
It has been confirmed that 100 hi-tech jobs will be created as part of a £200m data centre project for South Wales. Next Generation Date will create Europe’s largest and most technically advanced ‘green’ data-centre in Newport.
It will be only the second data centre in Wales, the other being BT’s centre in Cardiff. Data centres house the hardware, software and high speed communication connections required to run customers websites, intranets and other e-commerce facilities in a highly secure and managed environment.
Plans to redevelop the Mumbles Pier site have been unveiled which will create hundreds of jobs. The £39m scheme will have long-lasting benefits for Mumbles and Swansea.
Once complete the scheme will deliver more than 225 new jobs to the area, generateing more than £17m a year for the local economy. This will be on top of the 400 jobs created during the construction period.
If the scheme gets approval the pier will recieve a huge overhaul with the creation of a luxury hotel and spa, a conference and exhibition centre and a number of family entertainments and restaurants. It will also improve public spaces and parking and safeguard the new offshore lifeboat facility.
A major industrial unit is planned for an 18-acre site on the Baglan Industrial Estate, with the promise of the creation of up to 500 jobs.
Fleming Developments UK are proposing to construct a large manufacturing unit to build pre-fabricated homes. The project, if approved, will see the construction of a new factory alongside office space, service areas and parking space.
