By Kitchen firm Wren to create 300 new jobs in local area
The business said the jobs would be based at its new quartz worktop processing centre, built on the site of the former DHL facility on the Foxhills Industrial Estate.
It said the facility, which opened last month, will be operating at full capacity by December 2021 and recruitment will continue throughout the year.
UK Manufacturing Operations Director, Kes Serelis, said: “We’ve reinvested back into our business to create this new state-of-the-art facility which is required to cope with our increased demand of fabricating high-quality quartz worktops for our customers across the UK.
“It will create a significant number of manufacturing and support roles for the region such as machine operators, team leaders, compliance officers and managers.”

It will create 900 new roles across a one million square foot site.
Hi-tech computerised machinery has been imported from around the globe, with full capacity anticipated by December and recruitment ongoing throughout the year.
It is being developed alongside further manufacturing expansion at Barton, with the £120 million addition there due to open in early 2022.
The addition was first revealed in the publication of Wren’s annual results in June, when turnover topped £700 million.
