Nestle announced coffee plant expansion plansProduction and inventory control jobs may be on offer at Nestle as the food and drink products maker has announced a £110 million investment in expanding its plant in Staffordshire.

The firm is to treble its production capacity at the Dolce Gusto site in Tutbury, Staffordshire.

Prime minister David Cameron was on hand at the time of the announcement, welcoming news of the increase in output and creation of 300 new jobs.

Describing the move as "brilliant news" for the UK manufacturing sector, he said: "This investment shows the confidence that there is in the UK, it is clear that we have got a great manufacturing future."

Nestle UK and Ireland noted it has already invested £100 million in expanding the facility over the past five years, increasing the number of jobs there from 160 to its present level of 500.

The firm said coffee products made at the site will be exported to 38 different countries around the world.

Confederation of British Industry director general John Cridland recently said the UK needs to export goods to a wider range of countries than at present if its manufacturing sector is to grow significantly.
