A Wrexham-based bakery, UK, is to create 50 new jobs to help it cope with a “growing order book”.

The new positions at The Village Bakery’s three sites at the Wrexham Industrial Estate and in nearby Minera will include a dozen apprenticeships. The increase will bring the firm’s workforce up to 500.
Operations director Simon Thorpe said the firm was “very fortunate” to be going through “another period of significant growth”.
The plan is in addition to a proposal the firm submitted to Wrexham council last year, for an expanded GBP16m “super bakery”, which was linked to 100 potential new jobs. Apprentices for the current expansion will be trained at the firm’s GBP4m baking academy and innovation center.
