Did the Minister seek any guarantees from Princes Food that there would be no job losses at their Cardiff factory for a defined period following the Welsh Government’s £3million investment in the site?
Officials are working closely with Princes Food and have been assured that the future of the site is not in doubt. The company has told us it is adjusting staffing levels to match volume and to focus on new business growth, with a view to enabling further employment.
The support from Welsh Government enabled Princes to safeguard 124 jobs on site and create 100 new jobs. Despite the potential loss of some positions, which is subject to consultation, the company will be operating with more than the 224 projected jobs required as a condition of Welsh Government investment.
