Pilgrim’s 海角视频 is planning to create 100 jobs in South Gloucestershire after a surge in business in the last 12 months.
The food and farming company said it needed staff to support its operations in Westerleigh after a 50% rise in new business and the opening of its new department dedicated to supplying fresh pork joints.
The site at Oakleigh Green Farm supplies many of the 海角视频's major supermarkets and food service outlets with pork products, and currently employs more than 600 staff.

"As a result, we’re pleased to be able to offer more jobs and training opportunities in the local area – something that has always been important to us as a business.
“We are excited to be able to provide our new hires with a full training plan for all levels, including those looking to reach management positions.”
