Retail: A Centre For Excellence
Posted by Nicola Mallett on
The Ludlow Food Centre is a £2.5 million project, which experts believe it will help cement Ludlow’s reputation as the nation’s rural food capital.
Sandy Boyd, manager of the food centre, said builders were putting the finishing touches to the project and it would open on 18th April.
He said some vacancies were still available for shop workers, a cheese maker and a jam maker and the centre was expected to create about 50 jobs. He comments, “We are in the final phases of construction at the moment. There are lots of construction workers on site. We had hoped to open at Easter but it now looks as though we will open on 18th April.”
Mr Boyd said more than 200 applications had been received from people who wanted to be tutors. He added, “We still have two key vacancies and they are for a cheesemaker and a jam maker. There are also vacancies for retail staff.”
Today, councillor Graeme Perks said it would help to cement Ludlow’s reputation for excellence in food and drink, adding, “There will be excellent training opportunities for people who want careers in the food and drink industries.”
