Two Shropshire companies are creating 200 jobs in the run up to Christmas. Chocolate company Magna, based in Telford, is advertising around 100 seasonal posts to help with increased production at their plant.
Meanwhile, Eden Vale in Minsterley are looking to employ another 100 people on temporary contracts.
The company makes a range of desserts.
Both companies say they need the extra staff to cope with Christmas demand.
The Magna contracts will increase the company's total workforce by around 20 per cent.
