British dairy Nom has announced plans to double operations at its Shropshire site and create 350 new jobs as part of a £100-110m investment into the company.

The first phase of the expansion is due to take place over 12 months, creating 200 jobs, with a further 150 set to be created in the second phase of the development.

A company is also looking to form agreements with one or more partners, a company spokesperson told Recruiter: “What the partnership will do is help bring the expansion forward but no dates are set yet.”

Christoph Wenisch, chief executive of Nom, says: “Nom UK is uniquely placed to build its marketshare substantially through the opportunities presented by developing our UK manufacturing centre, which uses British milk and local labour as well as sustainable production methods and offers significant carbon footprint reduction.”
