Start-Up Food Firm To Create New Jobs

Thirty five new jobs are to be created at a new niche and healthy snack food factory in Gwynedd.

Start-up firm Brighter Foods is to establish its base in Tywyn and said they hope to capitalise on the demand for gluten free, sugar reduced, low fat, diet control and sports nutrition products.

The new company is to establish itself not far from the Halo Foods Factory, which shut down in December, with the loss of 105 jobs.

Supported by the Welsh government, Brighter Foods say that they hope to be able to expand in 2015 and created more new jobs.
