It was great to visit and have a look around Morrisons' newly expanding manufacturing site in Halden’s Parkway, Thrapston. The site already prepares and packs various fresh produce to supply their 499 stores across the UK and following huge investment, including in infrastructure and machinery, they will see a considerable amount of their operations consolidated here, creating more than 300 new jobs and career opportunities locally. It was fascinating to see the operation in full swing, and to hear first hand how they intend to support local people into exciting careers spanning a range of roles, as well as their local charitable work. It was also great to cut the ribbon officially opening one of the new packing lines!
