AROUND 65 new jobs are being created in Builth Wells by a wholesale burger giant.

The Burger Manufacturing Company Ltd has established a processing plant at the Welsh Development Agency's Wyeside Enterprise Park, where it will produce 150 tonnes of burgers and other meat products each week.

The company has already started to recruit a local workforce and aims to start full production at the 11,000 sq. ft unit by early summer. The development is providing a welcome boost to the local economy.
