Hilton Foods says plan for Drogheda expansion will add 60 jobs
Hilton Foods, the London-listed meat-processing group, has moved to extend its facility in Drogheda. If successful, the move will add 60 jobs to its 280-strong workforce in Ireland.
Last week, Hilton Foods submitted a planning application to Louth County Council seeking to extend the factory.
The group said in documents that there was an “urgent need for this expansion” due to increased orders placing “added pressure” on the facility.
Hilton Foods plans to increase its staff numbers by 60 from the current level of 280
“A timely planning permission will ensure the business can create additional storage capacity for the Christmas rush in 2024 with added production capacity coming online in 2025,” the planning statement said.”
