A Cheshire cheesemaker has created 60 jobs at its headquarters following record growth.
Joseph Heler said the recruitment drive comes in the run up to the Christmas peak, and follows the firm having boosted its headcount from 166 to 200 over the past 18 months.
The new recruits will work across the Nantwich firm's production, across a variety of permanent and fixed-term opportunities in roles covering cheesemaking, packing, grating, waxing and blending.

Managing director George Heler said: “We pride ourselves as an employer in putting our people at the centre of everything we do. We are committed to recruiting the best local talent and developing our teams to support the growth of our business.
“As we prepare for our annual peak, we are recruiting to keep up with demand and support our continued development.”
The expansion has been announced following the business' "record growth".
The firm added that contracted employees were recently rewarded with a one-off bonus equivalent to one week's pay - "in recognition of the hard work".
Mr Heler added: “We recognise the part our team has played in keeping the food industry going throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Together we have been resilient, regardless of the challenges we faced.
“If you’re interested in joining a company that is both traditional and innovative, and you like the sound of what we do, we’d love to hear from you.”
