A further benefit is employment, not just directly at the site, but as
a result of building the new site. When building the new factory
Nestlé Waters sourced the majority of its materials and labour from
within a 50 mile radius of the site. This had a positive impact on
the local economy whilst decreasing the amount of transport
required for materials, reducing the site’s carbon footprint. The
new factory has also increased the number of apprenticeships and
graduate roles that Nestlé can offer. Whilst the old site used
agency and temporary workers, the new site employs over 100
full-time staff, drawn from the local workforce.
