Up to 2,000 new jobs are expected to be created as part of an expansion plan announced by Waitrose.

Waitrose director of development, Nigel Keen, said: "Our expansion story continues as we take the brand to more customers.
"Last year many of our new branches received than more than 10 applications for every vacancy - so we're delighted to be able to create an additional 2,000 roles in 2015."
