The investment is said to be worth 'hundreds of millions' of pounds.

Ball Beverage Packaging EMEA president Carey Causey said: “We are committed to building an inclusive workforce and are seeking people of all ages, from all backgrounds and regardless of education or experience. We will provide pre-employment training to enable candidates without prior manufacturing experience to apply and join.

“At Ball, we want to transform manufacturing to enable more people to access careers in a stable sector that is growing fast. We are building a sustainable, state-of-the-art facility and we will be providing long-term careers for local people who have passion, want to learn and who want to be part of something special.”
