Supermarket chain Morrisons, the only major multiple retailer to operate its
own meat processing factories, has struck a deal to acquire a 9,755m2 meat processing facility in Winsford, Cheshire from Vion UK.
The site is a fresh pork and lamb retail packing plant which Morrisons said has the capacity to expand into beef and mince products and increase its existing production. This work was previously carried out at a Morrisons-owned site in Bradford and by third party suppliers.
Morrisons said the jobs of all 300-plus staff in Winsford would be safeguarded and that there is potential to increase the size of the workforce as the business grows. The retailer said the acquisition will give it greater capacity as it continues to expand, and more control over the quality of meat products sold in its stores.

The car manufacturing employment enters the new year w
ith positive news that Jaguar Land Rover is to expand its Merseyside plant to create 1,500 jobs, as a recent report reveals:
Jaguar Land Rover is planning to double the size of its Merseyside factory and create 1,500 new jobs in a major boost to the Coalition’s drive to rebalance the economy.
An expansion of the plant - one of the biggest car manufacturing facilities in the UK - comes amid growing worries over a slowdown in UK industry and the prospects of a double dip recession in the wider economy.
JLR’s Land Rover plant in Halewood is at full capacity producing the new Range Rover Evoque and growing the factory will allow the company to keep up with surging demand for its products.
Sources familiar with the situation say the company is exploring plans to double the size of the plant by developing on surrounding land. This will represent an investment of around £100m, although the proposals are thought to be at a relatively early stage.

Jenrick Engineering, leading recruitment agency in the
automotive industry recently found an article regarding the positive effect 2011 has had on this sector:
Automotive industry experts at the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) have named 2011 a step-change year for the industry. Based on unprecedented levels of international investment in the UK and long-term commitments to building new and existing vehicles and engines across the country, the prospects for automotive manufacturing are strong.
Through 2011 vehicle manufacturers have committed in excess of £4 billion to projects in the UK, from the development of low carbon technologies to the introduction of all-new models. This high level of investment comes with the added bonus of increased and safeguarded employment for thousands of UK workers, plus millions of pounds of business for UK-based suppliers.
“2011 has been a very significant year for the UK motor industry. We have seen a remarkable series of investment announcements by global vehicle manufacturers with a total of £4 billion of investment promised for the UK, securing new model programmes, production facilities and jobs. Despite the uncertainty within the Eurozone, these decisions demonstrate real confidence in the future of UK manufacturing and its role within a rebalanced economy,” said Paul Everitt, SMMT Chief Executive.

Job creation continues to increase month on month within the engineering sector as up to 2,500 jobs are to be created in Yorkshire’s burgeoning offshire wind industry, as the article below reveals:
Up to 2,500 jobs will be created in Yorkshire’s burgeoning offshore wind industry following a series of major announcements by energy firms this year, according to new Government research confirming the huge opportunity offered by North Sea wind.
Writing in today’s Yorkshire Post, Conservative Energy Minister Charles Hendry makes clear the Coalition believes “next-generation industries” such as the offshore wind sector are set to give regions like Yorkshire “a real opportunity to thrive again” after decades of industrial decline.
Four massive offshore wind farms are due to be built off the Yorkshire coast over the next decade as the UK pushes forward towards its 30 per cent target for renewable energy by 2020.
The construction and maintenance of the thousands of turbines required is seen as a major economic opportunity for the whole of the East Coast, and the Yorkshire Post is campaigning for the thousands of jobs which will be created to be centred upon this region.

More positive employment news has just been released, with Morrisons announcing that it is to create thousands of jobs next year as it
expands its network of stores around the country.
The supermarket giant said 25 new shops are to be opened in 2012, as well as a new regional distribution centre in the south of England.
This will provide 7,000 people with employment and goes towards the company’s aim of ensuring more households have a Morrisons supermarket within driving distance.
Since 75 per cent of the chain’s employees are typically from the area around each store and approximately half were without a job before starting work with Morrisons, this could provide a vital boost to those suffering as a result of unemployment up and down Britain. (more…)

Jenrick Engineering, the specialist engineering recruitment agency, has just
received news that will potentially generate 30,000 new engineering jobs in the West of England.
NEW plans for a multi-billion- pound barrage across the Severn Estuary are being considered by the UK Government.
The scheme, which would generate around 5% of the UK’s electricity needs, has been submitted by a consortium called Corlan Hafren to the Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC).
More than 30,000 jobs could be created from the barrage, from a turbine-manufacturing plant and from a new port, it is claimed.
It is understood the consortium is in talks with financial backers, including sovereign wealth funds from the Middle East, for investment running into tens of billions of pounds.
The consortium’s scheme would be privately financed, a government requirement after the rejection of other, publicly-funded barrage and tidal schemes last year. (more…)
