A £25 million investment by Freshways is bringing a new dairy factory and 200+ jobs to West Bromwich. 🥛
Once open, it’ll process around 900 million pints of milk each year – supporting British farmers and creating skilled jobs for local people.
This is investment that delivers for the West Midlands.
ALT Mayor Richard Parker, Freshways Managing Director Bali Nijjar, and Sandwell Council leader Kerrie Carmichael stand in front of a Freshways lorry at the new West Bromwich site. The £25 million dairy factory will create over 200 jobs and expand milk processing capacity across the West Midlands.

Abimbola was so brave on @GMB. @CostaCoffee @Pret and others could lead a campaign to make epi pens more accessible in communities. It worked with defibrillators which are now everywhere and save lives. Mistakes happen - community epi pens could mean they don’t all end this way.
'To see your child suffer their last breath on earth screaming, that is painful.'
The mother of a 13-year-old girl who died after an allergic reaction to a Costa hot chocolate tells us that if you have a serious food allergy 'please carry an EpiPen with you constantly.'
Abimbola Duyile’s daughter Hannah, who had serious allergies, died within hours of sipping the drink.

Exciting announcement made live at our AGM this morning. New city centre stores for Bristol and Bath. £38 million boost for these important English cities.
🎙️Live from the #MandSAGM2024
M&S announces they are opening not one, but two brand new flagship stores after M&S Shareholder asks, 'Why is M&S moving away from city centre locations, in some cases abandoning the city completely?'

City Comment: Oxford Street and the broader West End need clarity — and soon standard.co.uk/business/m-s-…
Oxford Street should be London’s premier shopping district but sadly it’s a long way from that. A new sustainable flagship @marksandspencer store is the best hope of reversing the decline and it’s time the government backed the plans to make this happen.
Almost two years on and no change....
- 1 in every 8 shops vacant
- Footfall down 30%
- Reported crime up c. 15%
- Abundance of tacky candy stores
And still no decision from @michaelgove on our plans to help fix these issues by building a brand new flagship M&S store!!😤
