Village Bakery has unveiled plans to create 50 jobs, including a dozen apprenticeships, in North Wales.

The positions will be spread across the company's three bakeries in Wrexham Industrial Estate (two) and in Coedpoeth.

The new apprentices will be trained in the Baking Academy and Innovation Centre, which was officially opened by the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall in July 2015.

Operations director Simon Thorpe said: "We're very fortunate to be going through another period of significant growth at the moment and with that comes the opportunity for people to gain employment with us as well.

"As part of the recruitment campaign, we're looking to take on another 12 bakery apprentices.

"Our grow-your-own approach is something we've built our business on strongly over many years, and most recently we've invested in the new Baking Academy and Innovation Centre and really we're going from strength to strength."
